June 29, 1994 evidence inventory and associated typed report titled “O.J. Simpson, Summary of Analyzed Evidence by Analysis Performed,” prepared by Michele Kestler, Gregory Matheson, and Collin Yamauchi to record analysis decisions.

People's 177-C is an evidence-disposition summary board covering items 45 through 57, with photographs of containers for selected items including 47, 49, 50, 52, and 56.

People's 177-D is an evidence-disposition summary board covering items 59 through 82, including the Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman blood exemplars, coroner samples, and item 78. It was used to address collection responsibility, original packaging, receipt dates, and chain of custody; Dr. Robin Cotton identified item 78 as a bloodstain swatch from Goldman's boot.
