NY CPLR § 5525 (2021)
2021 New York Laws CVP - Civil Practice Law and Rules Article 55 - Appeals Generally R5525 - Preparation and Settlement of Transcript; Statement in Lieu of Transcript.

Rule 5525. Preparation and settlement of transcript; statement in lieu of  transcript.  (a)  Preparation  of  transcript.  Where a stenographic record of the proceedings is made, the appellant, within  the  time  for taking  the appeal, shall serve upon the stenographic reporter a request for a transcript of the proceedings and, unless  the  appellant  is  the state  or any political subdivision of the state or an officer or agency of the state or of any political subdivision of the state, shall deposit a sum sufficient to pay the fee. As soon  as  possible  after  receiving such  notice the reporter shall serve upon the appellant the ribbon copy and a carbon copy of the typewritten transcript, or two  copies  of  the transcript  if  it  is  reproduced  by  any  other  means. The appellate division in each department may by rule applicable in the department  to all  appeals  taken  from judgments or orders entered in the department, provide that only  a  ribbon  copy  of  the  typewritten  transcript  be prepared  and  provide  for  the use of such copy by the parties and the court.  (b) Omission of part of transcript. The  parties  may  stipulate  that only  a portion of the record be transcribed. No transcript is necessary where a party appeals from a judgment entered upon a  referee's  report, or  a  decision  of the court upon a trial without a jury, and he relies only upon exceptions to rulings on questions of law made after the  case is finally submitted.  (c)  Settlement  of transcript. 1. Within fifteen days after receiving the transcript from the court reporter or from  any  other  source,  the appellant  shall  make any proposed amendments and serve them and a copy of the transcript upon the respondent. Within fifteen  days  after  such service  the respondent shall make any proposed amendments or objections to the proposed amendments of the appellant  and  serve  them  upon  the appellant.  At  any time thereafter and on at least four days' notice to the adverse party,  the  transcript  and  the  proposed  amendments  and objections  thereto  shall  be  submitted for settlement to the judge or referee before whom the proceedings were had if the parties cannot agree on the amendments to the transcript.  The  original  of  the  transcript shall  be corrected by the appellant in accordance with the agreement of the parties or the direction of the court and its correctness  shall  be certified  to thereon by the parties or the judge or referee before whom the proceedings were had. When he serves his brief upon  the  respondent the  appellant  shall  also  serve a conformed copy of the transcript or deposit it in the office of the clerk of the court of original  instance who shall make it available to respondent.   2.  If  the  appellant  has timely proposed amendments and served them with a copy of the  transcript  on  respondent,  and  no  amendments  or objections  are  proposed  by  the respondent within the time limited by paragraph 1, the transcript, certified as correct by the court reporter, together with appellant's proposed amendments, shall be  deemed  correct without  the necessity of a stipulation by the parties certifying to its correctness or the settlement of the transcript by the judge or referee. The appellant shall affix to such transcript an affirmation,  certifying to  his  compliance  with the time limitation, the service of the notice provided  by  paragraph  3  and  the  respondent's  failure  to  propose amendments or objections within the time prescribed.   3.  Appellant  shall  serve  on respondent together with a copy of the transcript  and  the  proposed  amendments,  a  notice   of   settlement containing  a  specific  reference  to subdivision (c) of this rule, and stating that if respondent fails to  propose  amendments  or  objections within  the  time  limited by paragraph 1, the provisions of paragraph 2 shall apply.  (d)  Statement  in  lieu  of   stenographic   transcript.   Where   no stenographic  record  of  the proceedings is made, the appellant, within ten days after taking his appeal,  shall  prepare  and  serve  upon  the respondent  a  statement  of  the  proceedings  from  the best available sources,  including  his  recollection, for use instead of a transcript. The respondent may serve  upon  the  appellant  objections  or  proposed amendments  to  the  statement  within  ten days after such service. The statement, with objections or proposed amendments,  shall  be  submitted for  settlement to the judge or referee before whom the proceedings were had.  (e) Special  rules  prescribing  time  limitations  in  settlement  of transcript  or  statement  in  lieu  thereof  authorized.  The appellate division in each department may by rule  applicable  in  the  department prescribe  other  limitations of time different from those prescribed in subdivisions (c) and (d) for serving transcripts, or statements in  lieu of   transcripts,   and  proposed  amendments  or  objections,  and  for submission thereof for settlement.
