Occasionally, counsel may request that a reporter suspend production of a transcript. Transcript production may be stopped only by order of the court of appeals. It is the responsibility of the party who ordered the transcript to move for suspension of production. Substitute Court Reporters Pursuant to Judicial Conference policy, reporters are expected to hire substitutes when they are unable to complete transcripts on time. A reporter who cannot file a transcript before the ninetieth day after it is ordered must remove him or herself from courtroom duties and provide a substitute.
Official reporters are responsible for transcript production by their substitutes.
Requests for extensions received from substitute reporters will be returned to the district court reporter coordinator so the appropriate official reporter can make a proper request. Court Reporters' Manual The Court Reporters' Manual , Volume VI of the Guide to Judicial Policies and Procedures is incorporated into these guidelines. Reporters in this circuit are expected to know and abide by the rules, regulations and policies contained in it. The pages of a transcript are to be numbered in a single series of consecutive numbers for each proceeding, regardless of the number of days involved.
