INSTRUCTIONS TO COURT REPORTER 

To assure the Court of Appeals that the ordering party has fulfilled his or her obligations under FRAP 10(b), for 

ordering and making adequate financial arrangements with the court reporter, you are requested to complete Part 

II and file with the Court of Appeals within ten (10) days after receipt. For information on becoming an e-filer, 

please contact a deputy clerk at the number below. 

It is the appellant's responsibility to contact you and make financial arrangements before filling out the form. 

However, if financial arrangements have not been made within ten (10) days after receipt of transcript order, 

complete Part II and file with the Court of Appeals. If financial negotiations with the ordering party are still in 

progress when the 10 days expires, contact a deputy clerk for additional time to complete this form. 

If financial arrangements are made after you have notified the Court of Appeals that no financial arrangement 

were made, immediately notify the Court in writing of the fact, furnishing the estimated delivery date.
