Rules and Forms | Appellate Procedure: Method of Notice to Court Reporter (Action Required)

Summary
Summary
The Appellate Advisory Committee recommends amending three appellate court-related California Rules of Court governing juvenile appeals and writs to replace the requirement that the clerk notify the court reporter to prepare the reporter’s transcript “by telephone and in writing” with a requirement that the reporter be notified “in a manner providing immediate notice” to the reporter. The existing “by telephone and in writing” requirement is not found in other appellate rules governing notice to court reporters, and the change would provide clerks more flexibility in how they provide notice while retaining the requirement that the notice be immediate.

Recommendation
The Appellate Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2021, amend rules 8.405, 8.450, and 8.454 of the California Rules of Court to:
1. Omit the requirement that the court clerk notify the court reporter “by telephone and inwriting” to prepare the reporter’s transcript, to more closely align these rules with other appellate rules, and provide clerks with more flexibility in how they provide notice to court reporters; and
2. Add a requirement that the clerk notify the reporter “in a manner providing immediate notice.”
