A. When an appeal is taken in a civil, criminal or traffic case, if the record in the limited jurisdiction court is recorded, trials of less than one (1) hour will be deemed submitted on the recording, without transcription, unless ordered transcribed by this court. For trials in excess of one (1) hour, or when ordered by this court, transcription shall be arranged by the appellant and completed by the trial court. In the event a non-indigent appellant in a criminal action fails to make satisfactory arrangements with the trial court for transcription of the record, the appeal may be summarily dismissed by this court and remanded to the trial court.

B. When an appeal is taken in a civil, criminal or traffic case from a limited jurisdiction court to this court, the trial court shall identify whether it is a justice or municipal court, shall prepare a certified index itemizing the documents and events comprising the record on appeal and shall indicate whether or not a record of the proceedings exists and whether the record was by audio, video or court reporter. The record on appeal shall also identify whether a bond has been posted and the amount of the bond. Any bond shall be transmitted to the clerk of the court with the record on appeal.
