Rule 355: Official Court Reporters

The official court reporter or anyone acting in that capacity must file all original verbatim notes and any electronic representation of those notes, including audio or .wav files, if applicable, in the office of the clerk of the court, along with all exhibits admitted into evidence and retained by the reporter. Notes backed up and stored electronically on a judicial district’s network computer server—in a format readable by non-reporter software—may be substituted for the original. The notes and exhibits must remain a part of the files in the office of the clerk until further order of the court.
