(a) Payment for Transcripts. Any party or attorney ordering a transcript of testimony,
whether for appeal or otherwise, is personally obligated for the payment of the fee to
the court reporter. However, the foregoing does not apply to those instances in which
the fees are to be paid by the United States of America pursuant to legislative
authority. Except in those cases in which the cost of a transcript is funded pursuant to
the Criminal Justice Act, the court reporter may require prepayment for a transcript
ordered by an attorney.
(b) Clerk’s Copy. The certified copy of the transcript delivered by the court reporter to
the Clerk for the records of the Court, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 753, may not be
removed from the office of the Clerk absent Court order.
(c) Electronic Availability of Transcripts. The electronic availability of transcripts of
proceedings shall be controlled by Admin. Orders 2008-35 and 2009-09.
