Rule 1.4. Court Reporters' Notes, Duties of Clerk and Reporters, and Destruction of Notes and Electronic Recording
(1) All Reporters: It shall be the responsibility of all court reporters employed in any capacity by this court to be aware of and comply with all provisions of this rule. All court reporters, including per diem or contract court reporters, have a continuing duty to keep the Clerk of this Court advised of their current address and telephone number. These requirements are in addition to the requirements for court reporters set forth in the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration.
(1) Storage and Indexing. Not less than once each year all reporters shall store with the Clerk of this Court all notes which are more than two (2) years old. All court reporters who store their notes with the Clerk of this Court as required by this rule shall place the notes in a carton prescribed by the Clerk and approved and furnished by the court administrator. All court reporters shall store civil, juvenile, habeas corpus and criminal proceedings notes in containers separate and apart from each other and shall identify the carton and its contents, i.e., court reporter's name, category, and date span covered, on a label affixed to the front of the storage container. All notes presented to the Clerk of this Court shall be accompanied by a receipt.
(2) Destruction of Notes: All court reporters' notes for civil and probate proceedings, except writs of habeas corpus, in storage for more than ten (10) years (unless the court specifies a different period for the retention of such notes) shall be destroyed by the Clerk of this Court after giving thirty (30) days written notice by certified or registered mail, directed to the court reporters at the court reporter's last known business address and place of residence. Prior to the date set for their destruction, the court reporter may reclaim the notes if so desired.
Original court reporter notes of criminal proceedings shall be retained for a period of twenty-five (25) years from the date sentence is imposed, unless the court imposes a sentence of death, in which case the notes shall be retained until destruction is ordered by the Court.
Court reporters' notes on habeas corpus and juvenile proceedings shall be retained until destruction is ordered by the Court.
(4) Certification of Compliance With Rule. All official reporters who are employed at an annual salary and paid on a regular basis by the county, who intend to terminate their employment, shall give at least two (2) weeks notice of such intention to the Judge who engaged their services. That Judge shall forthwith notify the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to withhold any further pay to said reporter until receipt of certification of compliance with this rule.
