Stenographers to furnish copies of proceedings

§ 91. Stenographers to furnish copies of proceedings. Upon any\nexamination, hearing or trial, where stenographic minutes of the\nproceedings have been taken by an official stenographer of the court, or\nby a stenographer employed for the purpose, such stenographer must upon\nrequest furnish, with all reasonable diligence, to the defendant or his\nattorney, or to the complainant or his attorney, or to a party in a\ncivil case arising out of the same state of facts or to his attorney, a\ncopy transcribed from his stenographic notes of such minutes, testimony,\nproceedings, or part thereof, upon the examination, hearing or trial,\nupon payment of the fees therefor by the person requiring such copy. If\nsuch copy is required by the district attorney or the attorney general\nor by a superior court when a defendant has been held for the action of\na grand jury pursuant to article one hundred eighty of the criminal\nprocedure law, a stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor, but he\nmust furnish the copy upon receiving a certificate of the sum to which\nhe is entitled, which shall be a city or state charge and must be paid\nby the proper financial officer of the city or state upon such\ncertificate, like other city or state charges. In all cases of appeal\nfrom an order or judgment made or rendered in the court, where a\ntranscript of the stenographer's minutes of the proceedings and\ntestimony given on the trial or hearing, becomes a necessary part of the\nrecord on appeal, the stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor in\nthe same manner as provided in this section, which shall be paid or a\ncertificate therefor furnished by the appellant, as the case may be.\n
