Non-appeal and Appeal transcript orders must be placed on separate order forms.

Transcript orders for non-appealed cases must be ordered on form, AO 435. This is applicable to any district, magistrate, or bankruptcy case unless the case involves a Criminal Justice Act litigant. Complete items 1 thru 19.  Complete item 20 by indicating the name of the reporter or preferred transcribing service (if digitally recorded).

Transcript orders for cases that have been appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit must be ordered on an Appeal Transcript Order Form, DKT 13. Complete only Part "A"of the form. You must distribute the sections of the form as indicated at the bottom of each page - be sure to forward the pink, blue, and green pages to the Court Reporting Services office.

Transcripts ordered for Criminal Justice Act litigants must be ordered on Authorization and Voucher for Payment of Transcripts Form, CJA 24. Orders for Criminal Justice Act litigants appealing to the Fifth Circuit would require both the DKT 13 and CJA 24. **See "financial arrangements" for more information.
