Taking out transcripts and exhibits

(a) Taking out Transcripts. A party in a matter before the Supreme Court may take out a nonelectronic transcript upon leaving a receipt with the Clerk of the Supreme Court. A party in a pending appeal may keep such transcript for a maximum of three (3) weeks, unless when the transcript is initially taken out by any party the case has been assigned for hearing, in which event the transcript may be kept for one half (1/2) the time which shall elapse between the date it is taken out and the date to which the case has been assigned for hearing. Upon return of a transcript it may be taken out by the opposing side and kept for three (3) weeks or for the remainder of the time which shall elapse between the time of taking out and the date to which the case has been assigned for hearing. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), a party may not retain the transcript longer than three (3) weeks unless the period is extended by order of the Supreme Court upon motion; nor may a party who has previously taken out a transcript of evidence take it out again without the consent of the opposing side unless the opposing side has had an opportunity for three (3) days Page 33 of 40 Revised February 17, 2026 to take out the transcript and has failed to do so. (b) Taking out Transcripts in Criminal Cases. In criminal cases, the Clerk of the Supreme Court may, upon motion, grant one (1) three (3) month extension, provided, however, that the party make the nonelectronic transcripts available to the Supreme Court or the opposing attorney on an “as needed” basis. Thereafter, a party must, upon motion, seek permission from the Supreme Court for an additional three (3) month extension. (c) Taking out Exhibits. A party may take out nonelectronic and physical exhibits only with leave of the Supreme Court granted upon motion, which sets forth precisely the exhibits the party wishes to remove, the reason for the withdrawal, and the duration of the removal, as well as any measures that will be taken to safeguard the integrity of the exhibits. Rule 30. Appeals and exceptions with respect to rulings and decisions after judgment. Decisions and orders of a trial court subsequent to judgment may be appealed in the same manner, as near as may be, as judgments. An appeal from a judgment preserves for review any claim of error in an order upon a reserved motion for a directed verdict, a motion to amend findings, a motion to amend judgment, a motion for a new trial and a motion in arrest of judgment. An appeal from such an order shall be treated as an appeal from the judgment.
