For any exhibits not otherwise available on the electronic district court docket, all physical and

11-4.4. Transmittal of Clerk’s Record Upon Requests
When the Court of Appeals at any time requires all or part of the clerk’s record, the Clerk of the
Court of Appeals will request the record from the district court. The district court clerk shall
transmit the record, including agency records lodged or filed with the district court during the
district court proceedings, to the Court within 7 days of receiving the request. In appeals from the
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, records will be treated in the same fashion as records on appeal in
cases arising from the district court. (Rev. 12/1/09; Rev. 7/1/13)
The district court shall within 7 days after a notice of appeal is filed transmit any state court
records lodged or filed in 28 U.S.C. § 2254 proceedings to this Court unless the documents are
available in the district court’s electronic case file or the district court determines that the notice
of appeal was prematurely filed. (New 7/1/13)
