1. Ordering Transcripts for an Appeal.
There are 3 separate steps to ordering transcripts for an appeal:
- Step #1: Review the case docket and locate the minute entry for each proceeding where a transcript has not yet been produced and is needed for the appeal.
- Step #2: Complete the Transcript Order Form, identifying the proceedings for which a transcript needs to be produced for the appeal. Indicate on the form in section 8 that the request is being made for an appeal.
- Step #3: File the Transcript Order Form in CM/ECF using the Transcript Request Event.
