 The shorthand reporter, on the direction of the court, shall take down in shorthand all the testimony, rulings of the court, exceptions taken, oral instructions given, and other proceedings had during the trial of any cause, and in such causes as the court may designate.   History. Source: L. 67: P. 454, § 8. C.R.S. 1963: § 37-12-32 .    ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. Since § 13-5-127 is similar to repealed laws antecedent to CSA, C. 46, § 91, a relevant case construing those provisions has been included in the annotations to this section.   From whom a defendant can obtain the testimony for his bill of exceptions. The defendant had the right to assume that he would obtain the testimony from the stenographer for his bill of exceptions. He was not called upon to make any other arrangements nor to anticipate that he would be called upon to procure that testimony from any other source, nor compelled to depend upon the uncertain memory of those present as to what the testimony was. King v. People, 54 Colo. 122 , 129 P. 235 (1912)(special concurring opinion by J. Musser).   It has been the invariable custom for district judges to appoint stenographers for their respective districts to appear at every criminal trial, and under the court's direction, take down the testimony and other matters, and when a defendant wanted a bill of exceptions, containing all of the testimony in a case, if desired, it has been the custom invariably to obtain it from the stenographer. King v. People, 54 Colo. 122 , 129 P. 235 (1912)(special concurring opinion by J. Musser).   Court of record has an affirmative duty to contemporaneously record all proceedings. Reconstruction of the record at a later time is not an adequate substitute for a contemporaneous record. Jones v. District Court, 780 P.2d 526 (Colo. 1989).

Where, in a court of record, no shorthand reporter is employed and trial transcripts are prepared by other court personnel, such personnel shall be similarly compensated for any transcript preparation required to be accomplished in other than normal working hours.

 In any district court composed of more than one judge, each of the judges shall sit separately for the trial of causes and the transaction of business and shall have and exercise all the powers and functions, as well in vacation of court as in term time, which he might have and exercise if he were the sole judge of said court.

Since § 13-5-131 is similar to repealed laws antecedent to CSA, C. 46, § 107, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.   This section is constitutional. Jordan v. People, 19 Colo. 417 , 36 P. 218 (1894).   Intent of section is to empower each district court judge to rule on matters challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty and procedures for qualifying a jury for a death penalty case only when sitting separately. Tolerton v. District Court, 625 P.2d 1020 (Colo. 1981).   District court has no authority to set motions challenging constitutionality of death penalty and procedures for qualifying a jury for a death penalty case for a hearing or for determination by a multi-judge panel. Tolerton v. District Court, 625 P.2d 1020 (Colo. 1981).   Each of the judges herein provided for is authorized to exercise the powers of a district court. Jordan v. People, 19 Colo. 417 , 36 P. 218 (1894).   Each judge must exercise all the powers and functions of the court. In the trial of causes, and in the hearing and determination of any matter of purely judicial cognizance pending in the district court, each judge must sit and act alone. He must exercise all the powers and functions of the court and assume the full responsibility in the decision of each and every cause, demurrer, motion, and the like, coming before him for adjudication, as if he were the sole judge of said court. Two or more judges, by sitting together, cannot share or divide such responsibility. They cannot thus jointly hear and determine, and render a valid and binding judgment or order in any cause. People ex rel. Rucker v. District Court, 14 Colo. 396 , 24 P. 260 (1890).   Purposes set forth in § 13-5-133 (3) do not include the hearing or determination of motions or the making of decisions, orders, decrees, or judgments in criminal or civil cases filed in the district court.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 5 - Judicial Districts|Part 1 - Judges - Terms|§ 13-5-132. Powers of Judges Sitting Separately

 Each court held by the several judges, while sitting separately, shall be known as the district court in and for the county where such court is held and shall have the same power to vacate or modify its own judgments, decrees, or orders rendered or made while so held as if the said court were composed of a single judge.

Lenich, 138 Colo. 251 , 331 P.2d 498 (1958) (decided under repealed § 37-4-18 , CRS 53).   Intent of section is to empower each district court judge to rule on matters challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty and procedures for qualifying a jury for a death penalty case only when sitting separately. Tolerton v. District Court, 625 P.2d 1020 (Colo. 1981).   District court has no authority to set motions challenging constitutionality of death penalty and procedures for qualifying a jury for a death penalty case for a hearing or for determination by a multi-judge panel. Tolerton v. District Court, 625 P.2d 1020 (Colo. 1981).   A second judge may correct error of a judge no longer on the bench. It makes little sense to hold that if a palpable error were committed by one judge in refusing the continuance, it cannot be corrected by a second judge since the judge first presiding is no longer on the bench. Sunshine v. Robinson, 168 Colo. 409 , 451 P.2d 757 (1969).

  In any district court composed of more than one judge, the judges may sit en banc at such times as they may determine, for the purpose of making rules of court, the appointment of a clerk and other employees, subject to the provisions of section 13-3-105, and other ministerial duties, subject to the administrative powers delegated to the chief judge by the chief justice of the supreme court pursuant to section 5 (4) of article VI of the state constitution.    Subject to the approval of the chief justice of the supreme court, a district court sitting en banc may make rules:   To facilitate the transaction of business in the courts held by the judges sitting separately; and    To provide for the classification, arrangement, and distribution of the business of the court among the several judges thereof.       Judges of a district court in districts having more than one judge may sit en banc only for the purposes enumerated in this section, and the court so sitting en banc shall have no power to review any order, decision, or proceeding of the court held by any judge sitting separately.

 Every motion, issue, or other matter arising in any cause pending or to be brought in any district court of this state, and which is submitted to any such court for judgment or decision thereof, shall be determined by the court within ninety days after the adjournment of court. This section shall not be so construed as to prohibit a decision after the expiration of the time limited, but only as working a forfeiture as provided in section 13-5-136 .   History.

A judgment appearing upon the records of the district court of one county, but which by the same record appears to have been rendered by the judge while at his chambers, in a different county, will be reversed on appeal. Scott v. Stutheit, 21 Colo. App. 28, 121 P. 151 (1912).   This section does not divest jurisdiction or affect the validity of a judgment. Neither the statute nor the constitution in any way divests the trial court of jurisdiction to render a decision or affects the validity of the judgment rendered solely because of the lengthy delay between trial and judgment. Uptime Corp. v. Colo. Research Corp., 161 Colo. 87 , 420 P.2d 232 (1966).   The bare fact of the delay is not sufficient to warrant reversal of the judgment. Since no transcript of the evidence has been presented to this court, it appears that the findings of fact and conclusions of law are fully supported by the evidence. Uptime Corp. v. Colo. Research Corp., 161 Colo. 87 , 420 P.2d 232 (1966).
