Rule 31.9. Transmission of the Record to the Appellate Court
(b) Official Documents; Index. After a party files a notice of appeal, the superior court clerk must prepare a numerical index of the documents in the superior court's file (the “index”). The superior court clerk must promptly distribute a copy of the index to every party to the superior court judgment that is the subject of the appeal.
(2) Extension and Reduction of Time. For good cause and after considering the rights of the victim, the appellate court may grant one 20-day extension for transmitting the record on appeal. The appellate court also may order the superior court clerk to transmit the electronic record, or a portion of the record, at an earlier time or it may order physical transmission of the entire record or portions of the record under (d). The appellate clerk must distribute a copy of any order entered under this rule to the parties, the superior court clerk, and to the requesting authorized transcriber.
(d) Physical Transmission by the Superior Court Clerk. The superior court clerk must notify the appellate clerk and the parties to the appeal of any items in the superior court's record of a size, bulk, or condition that makes their electronic transmission impractical. If any of those items are necessary for a determination of issues raised on appeal, the appellate court, on motion or on its own, may order that the superior court clerk transmit to the appellate court any or all of these items in physical form. Alternatively, the parties may stipulate to the method of transmitting the item.
