LR 83.05 − COURT REPORTERS, AUDIO RECORDINGS, AND TRANSCRIPTS

(a) Payment for Transcripts. Any attorney ordering a transcript of testimony or other court proceeding, whether for appeal or otherwise, is personally obligated for the payment of the fee to the court reporter for the transcription, as provided for in Administrative Order 27. However, this does not apply when the fees are to be paid by the United States of America pursuant to legislative authority. The court reporter may require prepayment for a transcript ordered by an attorney.

(b) Certified Daily Transcripts - Notice Required. Any party requesting to obtain a certified daily transcript of a court proceeding must provide notice to the Court at least fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled date of the proceeding. Notice must be provided by the filing of a Notice of Request for Certified Daily Transcript. The Clerk's office will notify the appropriate court reporter following the filing of such a notice and the party will then be contacted by the court reporter to make arrangements for the production of the certified daily transcript.

(c) Audio Recordings.

(1) Copies. Copies of audio recordings may be requested from the Clerk. The party requesting the copy must comply with the Clerk's procedures, including payment of any fees.

(2) Transcripts. Any party requesting a transcript of an audio recording must contact the Clerk, and comply with procedures set by the Clerk, including payment of any fees.

(3) Judicial Discretion. Recording of telephonic conferences and other conferences is within the discretion of the assigned Judge. If an audio recording is made of a telephonic or other conference, availability of a copy or transcript of that recording is within the discretion of the assigned Judge.
