REQUESTING NOTES OF TESTIMONY
We cannot continue to correspond with you unless you follow all of the
directives in this letter. There will be no response from this office unless you
comply with the requirements below
All requests must be in writing with the complete documentation required, as
described below. Our office can only process complete forms.
In any Criminal case you are entitled to ONE free copy of the transcript, which is provided to
the court-appointed attorney or public defender that represents you. If a different attorney is
appointed by the Court at different appeal stages, the transcript is transferred to the next
attorney, or a copy is made and given directly to the appeal attorney, when requested by
him/her.
In order for a defendant to receive an additional copy, an ORDER must be signed by a judge.
The same applies to defendants claiming pro se or in forma pauperis status. A form letter
and procedure is attached if you decide to proceed in this manner. However, should you
decide to proceed in forma pauperis or pro se, this office cannot process your request without
a signed Order by a Judge indicating your have been approved to proceed in forma pauperis
or pro se by the Court.
By direction of the President Judge of the First Judicial District, you and your attorney are
entitled to ONE copy of your transcript; this is the copy the attorney uses to represent you.
Therefore, contact your attorney to find out if the notes of testimony were ordered
and in the possession of your attorney.
If your Court-Appointed Attorney or Public Defender has ordered the notes, and will be using
them to represent you, you cannot receive a second copy from this office unless you pay for
them.
If your Court-Appointed Attorney or Public Defender has not ordered the notes, please ask
your attorney to do so. Otherwise, if you order the notes yourself, you will be obliged to pay
for them.
If private counsel represented you and ordered the notes, you must request a copy from that
person. Otherwise, if you order the notes yourself, you will be obliged to pay for them.
