U.S. Code > Title 28 > Part V > Chapter 115 > § 1734 - Court record lost or destroyed, generally

  (a) When the record of any case or matter in any court of the
United States to which the United States is a party, is lost or
destroyed, a certified copy of any official paper of a United
States attorney, United States marshal or clerk or other certifying
or recording officer of any such court, made pursuant to law, on
file in any department or agency of the United States and relating
to such case or matter, shall, on being filed in the court to which

judgment or decree and the names of the parties thereto, the court
may enforce the judgment or decree as though the original record
had not been lost or destroyed.
  (b) Whenever the United States is interested in any lost or
destroyed records or files of a court of the United States, the
clerk of such court and the United States attorney for the district
shall take the steps necessary to restore such records or files,
