TRANSCRIPT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS A separate form must be completed for each hearing date requested. Select a Transcription Service Provider from the attached Court-approved list of transcribers and complete the Transcript Order form.

Five (5) types of transcript requests: • 30 Days: A transcript to be delivered within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of deposit. • 14 Days: A transcript to be delivered within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of deposit. • 7 Days: A transcript to be delivered within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of deposit. • 3 Days: A transcript to be delivered within three (3) calendar days after receipt of deposit. • Next Day: A transcript to be delivered within 24 hours after receipt of deposit.

341(a) MEETING OF CREDITORS: The Meeting of Creditors is recorded by the Trustee. The Court does not keep or provide a copy of the recording. For 341(a) Recording Request Procedures, visit the U.S. Trustee website www.justice.gov/ust/r16.

FILE THE TRANSCRIPT ORDER FORM Parties with an ECF account must file the Transcript Order Form in CM/ECF on the related case docket. Use docket event “Transcript Order Form (Public Request).” As with all ECF filings, the completed PDF Transcript Order Form must be “flattened” before electronically filing through ECF (click here to view the procedure). Self- represented litigants and parties without an ECF account may hand-deliver or mail the form to the division where the hearing was held.

*NOTE: The Court does not accept transcript requests via fax, email or telephone.

T RANSCRIPT P ROCESS ING The Court does not transcribe court proceedings. The official record of court proceedings is transcribed by a court-approved transcriber from materials provided to that transcriber by the court. When a Transcript Order Form is received, the Court will forward the hearing information to the Transcription Service Provider you designate on the Transcript Order Form. The Transcription Service Provider will contact you regarding receipt of the transcript. Thereafter, contact the Transcription Service Provider directly if you have questions regarding your transcript order. Transcripts cannot be picked up at the Court. For more information, go to www.cacb.uscourts.gov/track-transcript-status.

TRANSCRIPT COSTS/FORM S O F PAYMENT The Transcription Service Provider will contact you directly regarding transcript costs and forms of payment. Rates may vary but may not exceed maximum charges set by the Judicial Conference of the United States (maximum rates are listed at www.cacb.uscourts.gov/transcripts).

COPIES OF TRANSCRIPTS Once the Transcript Order Form requesting a transcript of a hearing is entered on the related case docket, a Transcription Service Provider is designated and materials for transcription are sent by the Court to the designated Transcription Service Provider. If more than one party files a Transcript Order Form for the same hearing, the first Transcript Order Form on the docket takes precedence. All other parties that wish to obtain a transcript of the same hearing are to contact the Transcription Service Provider designated on the case docket.

Completed transcripts are filed by the transcriber on the related case docket and restricted for 90 days from the filed date as set forth in the Guide to Judiciary Policy Vol. 6, §510.25.10. During the 90-day restriction period, the transcript may be viewed at the Clerk’s Office on a public computer terminal or a copy purchased from the designated Transcription Service Provider that created the original transcript. For more information see Transcript Ordering Instructions, section 1.15 of the Court Manual at www.cacb.uscourts.gov/court- manual.
