Rule 3.30 - EXTENSION OF TIME FOR PREPARATION OF TRANSCRIPT(1) Except as provided in ORAP 3.40(3), only the appellate court may grant an extension of time for the preparation of a transcript.(2) A request for an extension of time to prepare a transcript may be filed by: (a) a party responsible for causing the transcript to be prepared,(b) the transcriber or court reporter (in audio and video record cases) responsible for preparing a transcript if the party responsible for causing the transcript to be prepared has made payment arrangements, or (c) the transcript coordinator if the transcript coordinator has not assigned a transcriber.(3) A request for an extension of time shall include the amount of time sought, the number of previous extensions obtained and the reason for the extension of time.(4) If all or part of the need for an extension of time is the failure to make satisfactory arrangements for payment of the transcript, the request shall so state. If a party makes a request for an extension of time under this rule, the party shall show why appropriate arrangements have not been made. The court in its discretion may deny the extension of time and direct that the appeal proceed without the transcript.(5) A court reporter's or transcriber's request for an extension of time shall include the date on which the transcript was ordered, the number of days of proceedings designated on appeal, the approximate number of pages of transcript to be prepared, and information about other transcripts due on appeal. The request shall be substantially in the form illustrated in Appendix 3.30 and shall show proof of service on the parties and, for the second or any subsequent request for extension of time, on the trial court administrator.(6) Any party may file an objection to a court reporter's or transcriber's request for an extension of time within 14 days after the request is filed. The objection must be served on all other parties, the court reporter or transcriber, and the trial court administrator. An objection received after the court has granted the request will be treated as a motion for reconsideration of the ruling. On reconsideration, if the court modifies the extension of time, the court reporter or transcriber and the parties will be notified; otherwise, the objection will be noted and placed in the file. See generally ORS 19.395.
