A transcriber shall prepare a transcript in the format prescribed by the court by the later of:

(a)

Thirty days after the filing of the notice of appeal; or

(b)

Thirty days after the expiration of any abeyance of the appeal imposed by reason of the referral of the appeal to the appellate settlement program established by the Court of Appeals pursuant to ORS 2.560 (Rules).

A copy of the certificate must be served on the trial court administrator, the transcript coordinator and the parties.

(4)

A transcriber may agree with a party or an attorney on the manner in which a transcript will be served. If there is no agreement, a transcriber shall serve a transcript in the following manner:

(a)

Subject to paragraph (d) of this subsection, if an appellant is not represented by an attorney, the transcriber shall serve an electronic copy of the transcript on the appellant at the electronic mail address provided by the appellant unless the appellant specifically requests that a paper copy of the transcript be mailed to the appellant at the postal address indicated in the notice of appeal. If an electronic mail address for the appellant does not appear in the notice of appeal, the transcriber shall mail a paper copy of the transcript to the appellant at the postal address indicated in the notice of appeal.

(b)

Subject to paragraph (d) of this subsection, if a respondent is not represented by an attorney, the transcriber shall mail a paper copy of the transcript to the respondent at the postal address indicated in the notice of appeal unless the respondent specifically requests that the transcriber serve an electronic copy of the transcript on the respondent at the electronic mail address provided by the respondent.

(b)

A copy of a motion to correct or add to the transcript made under this subsection must be served on the State Court Administrator. If the motion is denied, the trial court shall enter an order settling the transcript and transmit a copy of the order to the State Court Administrator.

Immediately after preparing the corrected or additional transcript, the transcriber shall serve a copy of the transcript on the parties in the manner required by subsection (4) of this section, and file proof of that service with the trial court administrator, the transcript coordinator and the State Court Administrator. Upon receiving proof of service from all transcribers of the proceedings, the State Court Administrator shall issue a notice to the parties indicating that the transcript has been settled.

(7)

Unless a motion to correct or add to the transcript is made under subsection (6) of this section, a transcript is automatically settled 15 days after a certificate of preparation is filed under subsection (3) of this section. If a motion to correct or add to the transcript is made, the transcript is settled on the date that the State Court Administrator issues the notice to the parties under subsection (6) of this section.

(8)

When a transcript is settled, the State Court Administrator shall notify each transcriber who filed a certificate of preparation. Upon receiving the notice, a transcriber shall file an electronic copy of the transcript with the State Court Administrator in the manner and format prescribed by rules of the appellate court.

Notes of Decisions

Evidentiary matters not presented during trial in any manner were not “additional parts of the proceedings.” State v. Jorgensen, 8 Or App 1, 492 P2d 312 (1971), Sup Ct review denied

Authority of trial judge to correct errors in transcript does not permit total deletion of offer of proof made at hearing before court. Rachau v. Brownton, 260 Or 459, 490 P2d 170 (1971)

Under this section, together with [former] ORS 19.029 and [former] ORS 138.185, imposing duty on court reporter to produce transcript within 30 days, reporter lacked authority to determine for herself that free-lance depositions had priority over timely filing of transcripts. In the Matter of Virginia Hanks, 44 Or App 521, 606 P2d 1151 (1980), aff’d 290 Or 451, 623 P2d 623 (1981)
