evidence or contrary to the evidence, appellant shall include in the record a

transcript of all evidence relevant to such finding or conclusion. If appellee deems a transcript of other parts of the proceedings to be necessary appellee shall, within 15 days after service of the designation of the partial transcript by appellant, order such parts from the reporter or procure an order from the trial court directing appellant to do so. At the time of ordering, a party must make arrangements satisfactory to the reporter for payment of the cost of the transcript. (c) If the proceedings in the trial court were electronically recorded, the audio record of the proceedings shall be received by the district court, sitting as an appellate court, as prima facie evidence of the facts, testimony, evidence and proceedings in such audio record. No transcript of the proceedings shall be required, unless the district court finds that a transcript, or portion, is necessary for appellate disposition. If discretionary review is granted by the Supreme Court, the parties shall ensure that a true and correct transcript of the relevant trial court proceedings is timely prepared and filed in the trial court for transmission to the Supreme Court along with the designated portions of the record on appeal. Such transcript is not subject to the certification provision in (d). (d) All transcripts of testimony, evidence and proceedings shall be certified by the official court reporter, or such other person designated by the trial court to prepare the transcript, to be true and correct in every particular, and when certified it shall be received as prima facie evidence of the facts, testimony, evidence, and proceedings set forth in the transcript. The transcript format shall be 8 ½ x 11, a maximum of 25 lines per page, and no more than 10 characters per inch. Condensed transcripts are not allowed by the Supreme Court. The reporter shall indicate at the bottom of each page the name of the witness, the name of counsel examining, and the type of examination (e.g., direct, cross). Appended to the transcript shall be a table with page references reflecting the names of the witnesses, the type of examination and the points at which exhibits were offered and admitted or refused. The reporter shall file the completed transcript with the clerk of the trial court within the time fixed or allowed by these rules and the Wyoming Rules Governing Access to Case Records. The transcript shall be certified by the clerk as a part of the trial court record, and, except as otherwise required by these rules, only transmitted to the appellate court.
