See Procedures for Requesting Transcripts or Audio Recording. If a transcript is on file in the Clerk’s Office, you may view it in our office if the transcript is within the 90 day period following electronic filing or purchase a copy from the court reporter, or access it via PACER 90 days after it was electronically filed, unless a redacted version was filed (in which case, the same instructions apply for a redacted version).

Notes: 

• While 28 U.S.C. § 753(b) requires the clerk to maintain court reporter notes or other original records for a minimum of 10 years after the proceeding, materials may be available for a longer period. Unfortunately, even if the records are still within the clerk's possession, it may be impossible to produce a transcript due to degradation of the notes/recordings.
• Pursuant to the Guide to Judiciary Policy, Volume 6, Ch. 5, Section 510.40.10(c), with the exception for recordings of arraignments, changes of plea, and sentencings covered by section § 510.45.20, there is no public entitlement to court reporters’ back up recordings used to augment steno notes. They are made for the reporter’s own convenience, not otherwise required by 28 U.S.C. § 753, and are the personal property of the court reporter
