Ohio Loc. App. R. 6.1

As amended through July 25, 2024
Rule 6.1 - Transmitting The Record - Extensions By Trial Court

The trial court shall not extend the time for transmitting the record beyond the eightieth day after the filing of the notice of appeal, and the Court of Appeals will not recognize an order of the trial court purporting to do so.

Extensions of time for transmitting the record beyond the eightieth day may be granted only by the Court of Appeals.

Applications to the Court of Appeals for extensions of time shall be made by written motion, supported by an affidavit or affidavits based on personal knowledge, which set forth facts demonstrating good cause for the extension.

The appellant is responsible for causing timely transmission of the record and for obtaining such extensions as are necessary to discharge this responsibility. The appellant shall file with the clerk of the Court of Appeals a copy of any extension obtained from the trial court.

This local rule does not relax any of the requirements of App.R. 10(C) pertaining to the trial court's authority to extend the time within which to transmit the record.
