(Eff. July 1, 1998. Amended, eff. July 1, 2001. Former Rule 332, renumbered as Rule 901 and amended, eff. July 1, 2014.) RULE 902 USE OF OFFICIAL ELECTRONIC RECORDINGS (a) General Rules If trial court proceedings in limited civil or infraction matters were officially electronically recorded, the original of the recording or a copy made by the court, may be used as a true and complete record of oral proceedings without being transcribed, and are deemed sufficient for an effective appeal. (b) Reviewing an appellant’s proposed statement on appeal (California Rules of Court, rule 8.837(d)(6)(A) and rule 8.916(d)(6)(A)) If the trial court judge determines that it would save court time and resources, instead of correcting a proposed statement on appeal, the trial court judge may order that the original of the official electronic recording of the trial court proceedings, or a copy made by the court at court expense, be transmitted as a true and complete record of the proceedings without being transcribed. (c) Appellant’s election to proceed with a copy of official electronic recording (California Rules of Court, rules 8.830(a)(2)(B) and 8.835(c); rules 8.910(a)(2)(B) and 8.917(c)) Pursuant to General Order re: Preparation of Record on Appeal – Limited Civil and Infraction Appeals, the original of an official electronic recording of the trial court proceedings, or a copy made by the court, may be transmitted as a true and complete record of the proceedings without being transcribed, and without stipulation of the parties. The appellant shall bear the cost of making a copy of the electronic recording. If the appellant has been deemed indigent by the court, such cost will be waived. (d) Appellant’s request for a transcript prepared from an official electronic recording (California Rules of Court, rules 8.830(a)(2)(A) and 8.835(b); rules 8.910(a)(2)(C) and 8.917(b)) There are no resources available to transcribe the official electronic recording at court expense.
