Summary
Summary
The Appellate Advisory Committee recommends amending California Rules of Court, rule 8.320 to authorize the Courts of Appeal to require, by local rule, that the clerk’s transcript in felony appeals include additional court records from the superior court file beyond those currently required in rule 8.320(b) or (d)(1). This amendment is intended to help minimize delays in felony appeals occasioned by the need to cure omissions from, or make augmentations to, the clerk’s transcript.
