11th Cir. R. 11-2: Certification and Transmission of Record - Duties of District Court Clerk

The clerk of the district court is responsible for determining when the record on appeal is complete for purposes of the appeal. Upon completion of the record the clerk of the district court shall temporarily retain the record for use by the parties in preparing appellate papers. Whether the record is in electronic or paper form, the clerk of the district court shall certify to the parties on appeal and to the clerk of this court that the record (including the transcript or parts thereof designated for inclusion, and all necessary exhibits) is complete for purposes of appeal. Unless the required certification can be transmitted to the clerk of this court within 14 days from the filing by appellant of a certificate that no transcript is necessary or 14 days after the filing of the transcript of trial proceedings if one has been ordered, whichever is later, the clerk of the district court shall advise the clerk of this court of the reasons for delay and request additional time for filing the required certification. Upon notification from this court that the brief of the appellee has been filed, the clerk of the district court shall forthwith transmit those portions of the original record that are in paper.
