Certification and Transmission of Record - Duties of District Court Clerk
The
clerk of the district court is responsible for determining when the record on appeal is complete for
purposes of the appeal. Upon completion of the record the clerk of the district court shall
temporarily retain the record for use by the parties in preparing appellate papers. Whether the record
is in electronic or paper form, the clerk of the district court shall certify to the parties on appeal and
to the clerk of this court that the record (including the transcript or parts thereof designated for
inclusion, and all necessary exhibits) is complete for purposes of appeal. Unless the required
certification can be transmitted to the clerk of this court within 14 days from the filing by appellant
of a certificate that no transcript is necessary or 14 days after the filing of the transcript of trial
proceedings if one has been ordered, whichever is later, the clerk of the district court shall advise the
clerk of this court of the reasons for delay and request additional time for filing the required
certification. Upon notification from this court that the brief of the appellee has been filed, the clerk
of the district court shall forthwith transmit those portions of the original record that are in paper.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
