08/31/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Regarding Transcripts. On March 29, 2004, appellant filed a transcript request form requesting court reporters Renee Silvaggio and Julie Lever to produce transcripts. fn1[A copy of the transcript request form is attached to this order.] Among the transcripts requested were transcripts for proceedings held on August 28, 2003, September 2 and 30, 2004. fn2[We assume that September 2 and 30, 2004, was a typographical error and should have read September 2 and 30, 2003.] A review of the district court minutes indicates that no court reporter/recorder was present at these proceedings. We conclude that the court reporters need not produce transcripts for those dates. We admonish counsel for including in the transcript request form dates for which no court reporter/recorder was present. 04-15802
