D.C. Super. Ct. Dom. Rel. R. 201

(a) ORDERING TRANSCRIPTS. Any person who has made suitable arrangements to

pay the appropriate fee is entitled to obtain a transcript of all or any part of any recorded

proceedings other than those under seal.

(b) ENDORSEMENT ON TRANSCRIPT. Each transcript obtained in accordance with

this rule must bear the following endorsement upon its cover page:

“This transcript represents the product of an official reporter, engaged by the court, who

has personally certified that it represents the testimony and proceedings of the case as

recorded. ”

(c) TRANSCRIPT ON APPEAL. Upon the completion of any transcript in a matter to be

brought before the appellate court, the reporter or transcriber must notify the trial court

and counsel that the transcript has been completed and will be forwarded to the Court

of Appeals within 7 days. The notice must inform counsel that any objections to the

transcript must be presented to the trial court and served on opposing counsel within

the 7-day period in the manner prescribed in Rule 5. The court will make known to the

parties any objections which it raises sua sponte and will give the parties an opportunity

to make representations to the court before the objections are resolved. All objections

must be resolved by the trial court on the basis of the best available evidence as to what

actually occurred in the proceedings.

(d) SECURITY OF ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT. In any case in which a transcript is

ordered by any person, the reporter or transcriber must deliver to the person a copy or

copies of any transcript prepared. The original of the transcript, bearing the required

certificate, must be filed by the reporter or transcriber with the clerk of the court and may

not be changed in any respect except pursuant to rule of court.
