If the appeal to Crime Victim Reparations is denied, the claimant has 30 more days to file an appeal with District Court. The recordings are made to keep a transcript of the testimony given at the appeals. Transcript summaries of the recordings may be kept, but are not required nor consistently transcribed. The tapes are retained because District Courts have required the actual audio tape of the proceedings as evidence in appeals before the courts.
