11th Cir. R. 12-1: Filing the Record
Rules and Internal Operating Procedures of the Eleventh Circuit — Title II. Appeal from a Judgment or Order of a District Court
In an appeal from a district court in which a transcript is ordered, the record is deemed completed and filed on the date the court reporter files the transcript with the district court. In an appeal from a district court in which there was no hearing below (including an appeal from summary judgment), or all necessary transcripts are already on file, or a transcript is not ordered, the record is deemed completed and filed on the date the appeal is docketed in the court of appeals pursuant to FRAP 12(a). The provisions of this rule also apply to the review of a Tax Court decision. [See 11th Cir. R. 31-1 for the time for serving and filing briefs.]
