In the column to the left is a link to a form to be used for requesting a transcript of a court proceeding that has been electronically recorded that is, either through a digital or tape recording system rather than by means of a court stenographer.

This form may be faxed to the number contained on the form. The Courtroom Technology/AV Services department will arrange for delivery of the transcript to the party ordering it. The rates are contained on the form.

Please be certain that you are presenting the transcript request to the correct office inasmuch as the transcript cost is determined by the date the request is received.

If a court reporter was present, any request for a transcript must be made to the court reporters and not through this form. The following Magistrate Judges use electronic recording for the majority of their civil proceedings: Judges Dolinger, Eaton, Ellis, Fox, Francis, Freeman, Gorenstein, Katz, Maas and Pitman. The following District Judges use electronic recording for some civil proceedings: Judges Crotty, Rakoff, Swain and Stein.

In addition, criminal proceedings before Magistrate Judges in the Arraignment Courtroom are electronically recorded, with the exception of pleas of guilty to felonies, which are recorded by a court reporter.
