(a) (2) The party responsible for paying for the preparation of the clerk’s record has paid the clerk’s fee, has
    made satisfactory arrangements with the clerk to pay the fee, or is entitled to appeal without p aying the
    fee.

The estimated cost of the clerk’s record is $ 8,600.00. We are requesting a deposit/payment of $4,000.00
