Jurisdiction: DC
Bluebook Citation: D.C. Ct. App. R. 11
(a) Appellant’s Duty. An appellant filing a notice of appeal must comply with Rule 10(b) and applicable Superior Court rules and orders, and must do whatever else is necessary to enable the Clerk of the Superior Court to prepare and transmit the record electronically. (b) Duties of Reporter, Director of the Court Reporting Division, and Clerk of the Superior Court. (1) Reporter’s Duty to Prepare and File a Transcript. The reporter must prepare and file a transcript as follows: (A) Upon receiving an order for a transcript for purposes of an appeal, the reporter must note the date of its receipt and the expected completion date and transmit the order and this information to the Clerk of the Superior Court. (B) If the transcript cannot be completed within 60-day of the reporter’s receipt of the order, the reporter may request that this court grant additional time to complete it. The Clerk must note on the docket the action taken and notify the parties. (C) When a transcript is complete, the reporter must file it with the Director of the Court Reporting Division. (2) Duties of the Director of the Court Reporting Division. If all transcripts ordered or designated for appeal have not been completed within the 60-day time period, the Director of the Court Reporting Division must retain the partial transcript until the transcription of all ordered or designated proceedings has been completed. When completed, the transcripts must be placed in chronological sequence and transmitted by the Director to the Clerk of this court to be filed as a supplemental record on appeal. In appeals where additional reporter’s transcripts are completed after the transmittal of initially ordered transcripts, the Director must promptly forward the additional transcript to the Clerk of this court as a supplemental record on appeal. (3) Duties of the Clerk of the Superior Court. When the record is complete, the Clerk of the Superior Court must prepare an index that reasonably identifies and numbers the documents constituting the record, and promptly send a certified copy of that index and the reporter’s transcript, if any, to the Clerk of this court. The Clerk of the Superior Court must retain all other parts of the record for the parties to use in preparing the filings on appeal, subject to call by this court. In cases where a party has been granted a waiver of fees, costs, or security, see Rule 24, the Clerk of the Superior Court must prepare and submit a copy of the record to the Clerk of this court. (c) Record for a Preliminary Motion in the Court of Appeals. If, before the record is forwarded, a party files in this court a motion for dismissal, summary reversal, summary affirmance, release pending appeal, stay or injunction pending appeal, additional security on a supersedeas bond, or for any other relief, the Clerk of the Superior Court, upon order of this court, must transmit a preliminary record containing the notices of appeal, the order appealed from, and those parts of the record designated by any party.
