Transcript Order - United States Court Of Appeals For The Fourth Circuit (Page 2 of 3) in pdf

INSTRUCTIONS TO APPELLANT FOR ORDERING TRANSCRIPT

You have ten days after filing your notice of appeal to order transcript from the court reporter and file a

copy of this form with the clerk of the district court. Within fourteen days of filing the notice of appeal,

additional copies of this form must be filed with two copies of the Docketing Statement with the clerk of

the court of appeals and served with the Docketing Statement on opposing counsel.

DO NOT SUBMIT THIS FORM UNTIL YOU HAVE MADE SATISFACTORY FINANCIAL

ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE COURT REPORTER.

Contact each court reporter involved in reporting the proceedings, obtain an estimate of total

pages, and make arrangements for payment. If you are unsure of the reporter(s) involved, contact

the district court clerk's office for that information. A SEPARATE TRANSCRIPT ORDER

MUST BE PREPARED FOR EACH COURT REPORTER FROM WHOM A TRANSCRIPT IS

REQUESTED. MAKE COPIES OF BLANK FORM AS NECESSARY.

If payment is waived by the reporter until completion of the transcript, the appellant must remit

full payment within a reasonable period of time upon receipt of the reporter's invoice.

If this was an electronic recording from the District of Maryland, contact the district court

reporter coordinator for further instructions.

Transcripts ordered under the Criminal Justice Act do not include opening and closing statements,

voir dire, or jury instructions unless prior special authorization has been received by the

appellant. Request CJA Form 24 from the district court and submit the form(s) to the district

court judge for approval. A separate CJA Form 24 must be completed for each court reporter. In

multi-defendant cases involving CJA defendants, only original transcripts should be purchased

from the court reporter(s). Requests for copies will be arranged by the district court using

commercial printers. Contact the district court reporter coordinator or district court clerk's office

for further instructions.
