(1) If a transcript is prepared from audio records by a person other than the reporter, the reporter shall certify the records and the transcriber shall certify the transcript. In all other cases, the transcript must be certified by the reporter or the trial judge. (2) A transcriber shall prepare a transcript in the format prescribed by the court by the later of: (a) Thirty days after the filing of the notice of appeal; or (b) Thirty days after the expiration of any abeyance of the appeal imposed by reason of the referral of the appeal to the appellate settlement program established by the Court of Appeals pursuant to ORS 2.560. (3) Immediately after preparing a transcript, the transcriber shall: (a) Serve a copy of the transcript on the parties to the appeal in the manner required by subsection (4) of this section; and (b) File a certificate of preparation for the transcript with the State Court Administrator. The certificate must indicate that the transcript has been served in the manner required by subsection (4) of this section. A copy of the certificate must be served on the trial court administrator, the transcript coordinator and the parties. (4) A transcriber may agree with a party or an attorney on the manner in which a transcript will be served. If there is no agreement, a transcriber shall serve a transcript in the following manner: (a) Subject to paragraph (d) of this subsection, if an appellant is not represented by an attorney, the transcriber shall serve an electronic copy of the transcript on the appellant at the electronic mail address provided by the appellant unless the appellant specifically requests that a paper copy of the transcript be mailed to the appellant at the postal address indicated in the notice of appeal. If an electronic mail address for the appellant does not appear in the notice of appeal, the transcriber shall mail a paper copy of the transcript to the appellant at the postal address indicated in the notice of appeal. (b) Subject to paragraph (d) of this subsection, if a respondent is not represented by an attorney, the transcriber shall mail a paper copy of the transcript to the respondent at the postal address indicated in the notice of appeal unless the respondent specifically requests that the transcriber serve an electronic copy of the transcript on the respondent at the electronic mail address provided by the respondent. (c) If a party is represented by an attorney, the transcriber shall serve an electronic copy of the transcript on the attorney at the electronic mail address of the attorney identified in the notice of appeal. (d) If two or more unrepresented appellants request paper copies of a transcript under paragraph (a) of this subsection, or two or more unrepresented respondents request paper copies of a transcript under paragraph (b) of this subsection, the transcriber shall deposit a copy of the transcript with the trial court administrator for the use of the unrepresented parties. The copy must be in the medium specified by the trial court administrator. The transcriber shall serve notice on the unrepresented parties that the transcript has been deposited with the trial court administrator, and file proof of that service with the trial court administrator and with the State Court Administrator. Deposit of a copy of a transcript with the trial court administrator under this paragraph constitutes service of the transcript on the unrepresented parties to the appeal. (5) If two or more transcribers are preparing parts of the transcript, the certificate of preparation is considered filed under subsection (3) of this section when the final certificate of preparation is filed with the State Court Administrator. (6)(a) Within 15 days after a certificate of preparation is filed under subsection (3) of this section, any party may file a motion with the trial court for correction of errors appearing in the transcript or to have additional parts of the proceedings included in the transcript. If a certificate of preparation is filed with the State Court Administrator during any period that the appeal is in abeyance by reason of the referral of the appeal to the appellate settlement program established by the Court of Appeals pursuant to ORS 2.560, a motion under this subsection must be filed within 15 days after the expiration of the abeyance. (b) A copy of a motion to correct or add to the transcript made under this subsection must be served on the State Court Administrator. If the motion is denied, the trial court shall enter an order settling the transcript and transmit a copy of the order to the State Court Administrator. (c) If a motion is granted under this subsection, the trial court shall direct the making of such corrections and the adding of such matter as may be appropriate and shall fix the time within which such corrections or additions must be made. Immediately after preparing the corrected or additional transcript, the transcriber shall serve a copy of the transcript on the parties in the manner required by subsection (4) of this section, and file proof of that service with the trial court administrator, the transcript coordinator and the State Court Administrator. Upon receiving proof of service from all transcribers of the proceedings, the State Court Administrator shall issue a notice to the parties indicating that the transcript has been settled. (7) Unless a motion to correct or add to the transcript is made under subsection (6) of this section, a transcript is automatically settled 15 days after a certificate of preparation is filed under subsection (3) of this section. If a motion to correct or add to the transcript is made, the transcript is settled on the date that the State Court Administrator issues the notice to the parties under subsection (6) of this section. (8) When a transcript is settled, the State Court Administrator shall notify each transcriber who filed a certificate of preparation. Upon receiving the notice, a transcriber shall file an electronic copy of the transcript with the State Court Administrator in the manner and format prescribed by rules of the appellate court.
