All transcripts ordered for Criminal Justice Act litigants must be ordered on an Authorization and Voucher for Payment of Transcripts Form, CJA 24. You must direct all copies of the form to the proper reporting/recording office.

The special authorizations requested by the defendant under section 13 of the CJA 24 will not be approved unless the defendant describes briefly the point on appeal that is supported by each part of the record requested in section 13 or other necessity for it. The written justification must be presented with the CJA 24 at the time of order placement.
