Or. R. App. P. 3.35

As amended through January 17, 2024
Rule 3.35 - FORM OF TRANSCRIPT
(1) A transcript shall meet these specifications:
(a) It shall be prepared using proportionally spaced 12-point type (such as produced by commercial printers and many computer printers). The font size shall be uniform and not vary from line to line or within the same line. Uppercase and lowercase letters shall be used according to rules of grammar; a transcript shall not be prepared using all uppercase letters.
(b) It shall be prepared on good quality white, opaque, unglazed paper, 8-1/2 x 11 inches in size, with numbered lines, and printed on both sides of each page. It shall be double-spaced and each page shall contain 25 lines of text, no more and no less, except for the last page of the transcript. The margins of each page shall be one inch on each side, at the top, and at the bottom.
(c) Each question shall be prefaced by "Q" and each answer shall be prefaced by "A." Each question and answer shall begin on a separate line no more than five spaces from the left margin and no more than five spaces from the "Q" and "A" to the beginning of the text. Text that carries on to the next line shall begin at the left margin.
(d) Colloquy, parentheticals, and exhibit markings shall begin no more than 15 spaces from the left margin. Text that carries on to the next line shall begin at the left margin.
(e) Quoted material shall begin no more than 15 spaces from the left margin. Text that carries on to the next line shall begin no more than 10 spaces from the left margin.
(f) Each page shall be consecutively numbered at the top right corner, and to the left thereof shall be given the name of the witness followed by a notation indicating whether the testimony is on direct, cross, redirect or recross examination, indicated by "D," "X," "ReD," or "ReX."
(g) Appropriate notation similarly shall be made of other proceedings, such as a motion for dismissal or a directed verdict, audio or video recording played in court, requested jury instructions, jury instructions, any opinion by the court, and other matters of special importance. If possible, the voice or voices on an audio or video recording played in court must be identified by name or by role (such as "police officer," "suspect," "interviewer," "child").
(h) It shall be preceded by an appropriate title page followed by an index noting:
(i) the first page of the direct, cross, redirect, and recross testimony of each witness;
(ii) all exhibits, with notation of the nature thereof and of the page of the record where offered and, when appropriate, where received in evidence; and
(iii) appropriate notations of other proceedings such as motions for involuntary dismissal and directed verdict, audio or video recording played in court, requested jury instructions, jury instructions, opinion of the court and other matters of special importance.
(i) Each transcript volume shall be bound in a manner that allows the pages of the transcript to lie flat when the transcript is open, as provided in this paragraph. The transcript volume shall be bound with a plastic comb binding, with the binding within 3/8 inch from the left edge of the transcript. A transcript volume may be bound by stapling if the transcript does not exceed 20 pages (10 pieces of paper), excluding the cover. A transcript volume bound by stapling shall be secured by a single staple placed as close to the upper left-hand corner as is consistent with securely binding the transcript.
(j) It shall have a cover sheet of clear plastic or 65-pound weight paper, front and back.
(k) If a transcript exceeds 200 pages, it shall be bound into volumes of approximately equal size of not more than 200 pages each. Volumes shall be consecutively numbered on their covers.
(2) The electronic version of the transcript filed with the Administrator as required by ORAP 3.33(4)(c) shall be in the following form:
(a) The electronic transcript shall be in Portable Document Format (PDF) that allows text searching, and copying and pasting into another document. The pagination of the transcript served on the parties shall correspond to the pagination of the electronic transcript filed with the court.
(b) If the transcript exceeds 200 pages, the electronic transcript shall be broken into separate PDF files of approximately equal length not to exceed 200 pages. Regardless of whether a transcript consists of one or more PDF files, each file shall be named in accordance with the file naming conventions set out in Appendix 3.35. If a PDF file contains more than one proceeding date, the beginning of each proceeding shall be bookmarked.
(c) If the transcript is in two volumes or less, it may be filed by attaching the electronic transcript to an email directed to appealsclerk@ojd.state.or.us. If the Administrator determines that an electronic transcript must be rejected for security reasons (e.g., virus or malware), the court reporter or transcriber shall resubmit the transcript as directed by the Administrator. If the transcript is more than two volumes, it shall be filed by optical disk.
(d) The electronic transcript shall comply with ORAP 3.35(1)(a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h). The electronic transcript also shall comply with ORAP 3.35(1)(b), except that it will not be printed. Notwithstanding ORAP 3.33(5)(c), the electronic transcript filed with the court shall be prepared in the one page of transcript per one standard page format.
