Transcript Order

FOURTH CIRCUIT TRANSCRIPT ORDER FORM. This form is used in federal appellate cases to request transcripts of court proceedings that are necessary for an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This form must be completed and submitted by the appellant within 14 days of filing a notice of appeal. A separate form is required for each court reporter or for any electronic recordings. The form helps ensure that all necessary transcripts are properly ordered, financial arrangements are confirmed (such as private payment, CJA funding, or government expense), and relevant information about the hearing dates, types of proceedings, and estimated page counts are provided. It includes a certification that payment or funding authorization has been arranged, and it outlines specific requirements for transcript ordering in various types of appeals, such as sentencing or Anders cases. The form also provides guidance on transcript formatting, privacy redactions, and proper inclusion of transcript features (e.g., witness names and examination types) for use in the appellate record. Once completed, the form must be sent to the court reporter and filed with the district court, with copies attached to the docketing statement in the appellate court. www.FormsWorkflow.com
