Absent prior court authorization, only certified transcripts of prior sworn testimony
(“Testimonial Transcripts”), and not unofficial real-time transcripts of such testimony, may be
quoted from in arguments to the court or in filings with the court. Court approval is required to
quote from a Testimonial Transcript to the jury, and absent good cause shown such approval will
only be granted for quotations from certified transcripts. Any Testimonial Transcripts quoted from
or attached as an exhibit to any pleading must contain the title page, quoted material, as well as
the court reporter’s certificate page authenticating such proceedings. Material filed in violation of
this rule may be disregarded by the court, and quotations made in violation of this rule may be
ordered stricken and disregarded by the court.
