Rule *227.3 - Transcript of Testimony(a)Post-Trial Motions. The court may, upon receipt of a copy of a request for partial transcript, or upon receipt of a partial transcript, request that the Official Court Reporter transcribe additional portions of the transcript, or the entire transcript, if the transcription of the increased portion of the transcript is deemed necessary for the disposition of the outstanding post-trial motions. The cost of such transcription shall be incurred by the party who filed the post-trial motions. In the event more than one party has filed post-trial motions, the cost of transcription shall be borne equally between or among such parties.(b)Appeals. Upon receipt of the order for transcription of notes of testimony in connection with an appeal, and the requisite payment or deposit thereon, the Official Court Reporter shall prepare a full transcript of the case on appeal, unless the appellant or a cross-appellant has requested and obtained an order of diminution of transcription from the trial court. Pa.R.A.P. 1922 requires that an application for an order providing for less than the entire proceeding shall be made in civil cases within two days after the order for transcript is filed, and in criminal cases as provided in Pa.R.Crim.P. 115. As provided in Pa.R.A.P. 1911, the appellant must request and pay for the transcription of testimony; however, cross-appellants shall share the initial expense equally with all other appellants. Adopted May 16, 2006, effective 9/4/2006.
