Certified shorthand reporters are granted a 60-day extension to file the reporter's transcript in civil cases (the 30-day limit of rule 8.130(f)(1) becomes 90 days) and criminal cases (the 20-day limit of rule 8.336(d)(3) becomes 80 days), the transcript delivered so the superior court clerk's appeals division can file it with this court by the 91st or 81st day (delivery to the Appeals Division in Rancho Cucamonga, the Hall of Justice in Riverside, or as the Inyo County clerk directs; an undesignated location may shorten the extension); a written request is needed only to exceed those periods; the extension does not apply to the listed short civil appeals (demurrer dismissals, anti-SLAPP and SLAPPback orders, summary judgment, dismissal for failure to proceed, defaults, family law orders to show cause, post-judgment orders, motions to quash, inconvenient forum, injunctions, receivers), to the listed juvenile and civil appeals entitled to calendar preference, or to criminal appeals from a plea, a resentencing on remand or a probation revocation; a transcript not filed in time may bring an order to show cause re contempt and incompetence (Code of Civil Procedure section 1209, subdivision (a)(5); Government Code section 69944).

MISCELLANEOUS ORDER 22-3 AUTOMATIC EXTENSIONS TO FILE REPORTER’S TRANSCRIPTS THE COURT: Except in cases excluded below, all certified shorthand reporters are GRANTED a 60-day extension to file the reporter’s transcript in all civil cases and criminal cases. (Cal. Rules of Court, rules 8.60(b), 8.130(f)(1), 8.336(d)(3), (e)(2).) In civil cases, the extension is of the 30-day time limit (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.130(f)(1)) automatically extending the time to file a reporter’s transcript to 90 days. In criminal cases, the extension is of the 20-day time limit (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.336(d)(3)) automatically extending the time to file a reporter’s transcript to 80 days. This automatic extension means that the reporter must deliver the reporter’s transcript to the superior court clerk in time for the superior court clerk, appeals division, to file the reporter’s transcript with the clerk of this court no later than the 91st day in civil cases and the 81st day in criminal cases. Thus, if the reporter’s transcript is delivered on the 80th (criminal) or 90th (civil) day: (1) to the San Bernardino County Superior Court Clerk, it must be delivered to the Appeals Division at 8303 N. Haven Ave., Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730; (2) to the Riverside County Superior Court Clerk, it must be delivered to the Appeals Division in the Hall of Justice in Riverside; to the Inyo County Superior Court Clerk, it must be delivered as directed by the superior court clerk. However, if the reporter’s transcript is delivered to a superior court location other than those designated in the preceding sentence, then the transcript must be delivered by the time prescribed by the superior court clerk. Thus, the superior court clerk may shorten the extension as many days as necessary to ensure that delivery by the reporter to an undesignated court location will still result in timely delivery of the record to the clerk of this court. This automatic extension also means that a reporter need not file a written extension request unless the reporter intends to exceed the 90-day period in civil cases or the 80-day period in criminal cases. A. Because the following proceedings are generally short, the extension granted by this order does not apply in the following civil cases in which the appeal is from a judgment or order: 1. of dismissal after the sustaining of a demurrer without leave to amend; 2. granting or denying a special motion to strike for bringing a strategic lawsuit against public participation (Code Civ. Proc. § 425.16) or a SLAPPback action (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.18); 3. based on an order granting summary judgment; 4. of dismissal for failure to proceed timely; 5. based on a default; 6. on an order to show cause in a family law proceeding; 7. post-judgment orders; 8. granting a motion to quash service; 9. granting or denying a motion to stay or dismiss for inconvenient forum; 10. granting, dissolving, or denying a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or injunction; 11. appointing a receiver. B. Because the following proceedings are entitled to calendar preference, the extension granted by this order does not apply in the following juvenile and civil cases in which the appeal is from a judgment or order: 1. in a juvenile case (Code Civ. Proc., § 45; Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 395, 800); 2. in an action to free a child from parental custody and control under Family Code section 7800 et seq. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.416(a)(1)(A)); 3. in a proceeding under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (Fam. Code, § 3454). 4. made appealable by the Probate Code (Code Civ. Proc., § 44); 5. pertaining to arbitration (Code Civ. Proc., § 1291.2); 6. granting or denying the recovery of possession of real property (Code Civ. Proc., § 1179a); 7. in an eminent domain proceeding (Code Civ. Proc., § 1260.010); 8. for declaratory relief in medical malpractice insurance cases (Code Civ. Proc., § 1062.5); 9. in a contested election proceeding (Code Civ. Proc., § 44); 10. in a specified proceeding involving environmental impact (see Pub. Res. Code, § 21167.1); 11. in a specified proceeding involving a general plan (see Gov. Code, § 65752); 12. in a specified proceeding involving property taxation or assessment (see Rev. & Tax. Code, § 5149); 13. on a writ petition deciding a trial court labor relations dispute (see Gov. Code, §§ 71639.5, 71825.2; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 10.660); 14. on a writ petition for release of budget and management information by the Judicial Council (see Gov. Code, § 71675, subd. (b); Cal. Rules of Court, rules 10.500(j)(1), 10.803). 15. in a specified proceeding involving a claim under the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (Welf. & Inst. Code § 15657.03) in which a party has been granted a trial court preference. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1294.4, subd. (a); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.710 et seq.) C. Because the following proceedings are generally short, the extension granted by this order does not apply in the following criminal cases in which the appeal is from a judgment or order: 1. entered on a plea of guilty or nolo contendere; 2. resentencing the defendant on remand from an appellate court; 3. revoking probation; 4. of conviction pronounced after revocation of probation. If the transcript has not been filed with the appeals division of the superior court on or before the expiration of the time provided by this order, this court may issue an order requiring the responsible reporter to show cause why the reporter should not be declared in contempt of this order and incompetent to act as an official reporter. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1209, subd. (a)(5); Gov. Code, § 69944.) The order remains effective unless and until the order is vacated or superseded by an order of this court. RAMIREZ Presiding Justice
