Ohio Loc. App. R. 4

As amended through October 29, 2024
Rule 4 - Extensions of Time for Filing the Record
(A) Regular Calendar. Motions for extensions of time for transmission of the record must first be made to the trial court for cases placed on the regular calendar. The trial court shall closely limit its extensions of time for transmissions of the record (Appellate Rule 10(C) ), shall overrule any motion for an extension of time where good cause is not set forth and shown, shall set forth the cause for the extension in its journal entry sustaining the motion for an extension, and in no event may extend such time beyond the eightieth day after the filing of the notice of appeal. Motions for extensions of time beyond the eightieth day may be made only to this court and must be filed before the expiration of the last extension granted by the trial court.
(B) Accelerated Calendar. Motions for extensions of time for transmission of the record must first be made to this court for cases placed on the accelerated calendar. Where good cause has been shown, extensions of time for transmission of the record may be granted up to the fortieth day after the filing of the notice of appeal. (See Loc.R. 12(3)(b) with reference to avoiding delay.)
(C) When the extension is needed by reason of a claimed inability of the court reporter to supply a necessary part of the record, motions for an extension of the time filed with the trial court or with this court must be accompanied by an affidavit of the court reporter as to the circumstances relied on as justifying the extension.
