Order Adopting Addendum to Rule 1.36(d), in Part II, Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules
The court adopts today the language shown below and directs that it be added to the present text of Rule 1.36(d), in Part II, Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules, as that rule's unmarked third paragraph:
An appellant who is an inmate, as defined by the provisions of 57 O.S. § 566[ 57-566] (B)(2), lawyerless and unable to produce the record required by this subsection, may attach to the petition in error an affidavit that discloses his (or her) prisoner status and sets out a designation of record to be assembled for the appeal. When such affidavit is filed, the Supreme Court's clerk shall order from the trial court's clerk the original record which is to be compiled in accordance with the inmate's designation in the text of his (or her) affidavit. If the appealing inmate's pauper's affidavit is on file in this court, the record shall be prepared and transmitted to this court — without payment of costs — within thirty (30) days of the date the inmate's affidavit (with designation of record) is transmitted to the trial court by this court's clerk.
