a. Notice to Court. All matters may be electronically recorded unless the parties or counsel advise the court at least five (5) court days in advance of hearing that a court reporter is requested. Failure to make a timely request may be deemed a waiver of a court reporter or result in the postponement of a scheduled matter.

b. Waiver of Court Reporter. Where a court reporter has been requested, the party who originally requested the same shall notify the court within twenty-four (24) hours of the commencement of the hearing, if the court reporter will no longer be necessary. Failure to notify the court may result in the assessment of the cost to provide the court reporter.
