Ohio Loc. App. R. 10

As amended through October 29, 2024
Rule 10 - Transmitting the Record
(A) Duties of appellant
(1) It is the duty of the appellant to make reasonable arrangements with the clerk of the trial court to secure the transmission of the docket and journal entries and to effect the transmission of the record, including transcripts and exhibits if applicable, on appeal.
(2) If the appellant fails to timely perform these duties, the Court may dismiss the appeal for failure to prosecute. Cases dismissed under this rule will be reinstated only for good cause shown.
(3) If appellant has made reasonable arrangements for the timely transmission of the record, yet the record is not timely transmitted, the appellant may seek an order from the Court of Appeals compelling the transmission of the record including, but not limited to, the transcripts of proceedings. Requests for such an order must detail the steps taken to cause the transmission of the record.
(B) Extension of time
(1) Transmission of the record must be completed in accordance with the scheduling order issued pursuant to Loc.R. 3.3. Extensions of time to transmit the record may be granted only by the Court of Appeals. Applications for extension of time to transmit the record must be made by written motion containing a detailed showing of diligence and substantial need for the extension, including the steps taken by the appellant to cause transmission of the record, the specific reasons for the delay, and the requested length of the extension. If the delay relates to the filing of the transcripts of proceedings, the motion must also include the specific reasons for the court reporter's delay and the date by which the transcripts will be completed and filed.
(2) If the Court grants the appellant an extension of time to file the record, the appellant shall, without further order of the Court, file and serve the appellant's brief within 20 days after the filing of the completed record, or 15 days if the case is on the accelerated calendar.
