General Order #GO26-015 (effective January 1, 2026, in effect until December 31, 2027): where oral proceedings were officially electronically recorded under Government Code section 69957, the record of oral proceedings in limited civil and infraction appeals is a settled statement or a copy of the official electronic recording (Local Rule 902), which satisfies any requirement for a reporter's transcript (Rules 8.916(d)(6) and 8.837(d)(6)); a party may instead pay the trial court clerk for a transcript from the recording.

SUPERIOR COURT COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO 247 West Third Street, Eleventh Floor San Bernardino, California 92415 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO IN RE: PREPARATION OF ORAL RECORD-LIMITED CIVIL AND INFRACTION APPEALS GENERAL ORDER #GO26-015 GENERAL ORDER OF THE PRESIDING JUDGE California Rules of Court, Rules 8.830(a) and 8.910(a) set forth required contents for a record on appeal to a superior court appellate division in a limited civil and infraction criminal case, respectively. If an appellant wants to raise any issue that requires consideration of the oral proceedings in the trial court, Rules 8.830(a)(2) (limited civil) and 8.910(a)(2) (infractions) contain several options as to preparation of the record of oral proceedings. It is the policy of this court that the record of oral proceedings that have been officially electronically recorded under Government Code section 69957 consist of either a settled statement under Rules 8.836 or 8.837 (limited civil) or 8.916 (infractions), or a copy of the official electronic recording under Rules 8.835 (limited civil) or 8.917 and Local Rule 902 (infractions). The court deems the original of the official electronic recording of the trial court proceedings, or a copy made by the court, to be a true and complete record of the oral proceedings without being transcribed. Accordingly, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rules 8.916(d)(6) and 8.837(d)(6), and notwithstanding any order regarding any fee waiver, such recording shall satisfy any requirement in any state or local rules or in any statute for a reporter’s transcript of oral proceedings in limited civil or infraction appeals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any appellant or respondent may elect to pay the trial court clerk for a transcript from the official electronic recording. If this election is made, and the requesting party does not pay for the transcript, it will not be prepared or provided to the appellate division. This order is effective January 1, 2026, and supersedes all previous general orders entitled Preparation of Oral Record-Limited Civil and Infraction Appeals, issued by previous Presiding Judges. This order shall remain in effect until December 31, 2027. Dated this 1st day of January 2026.
