before the General Magistrate prepared, that party must promptly file a notice designating the portions of the
transcript that will be transcribed, and the other parties must be given reasonable time after service of the
notice to arrange for the preparation and designation of other portions of the transcript for the Court to consider
at the hearing.
Though civil proceedings before a Judge are not electronically recorded by the Court, parties are advised
that civil proceedings before a Magistrate ONLY will be electronically recorded by the Court, or alternatively,
any party may elect to provide a live Court Reporter at that party’s own expense. If a live Court Reporter is
provided by a party, requests for transcripts must be submitted to that Court Reporter. If no live Court
Reporter is provided by a party, a party may request an electronic certified copy of the proceeding on CD, at
that party’s expense, and may then have the recording transcribed, at that party’s expense. Providing the
Court with a copy of the CD, instead of a certified written transcript, is insufficient for review by the Court
of exceptions. Media request forms, procedures, and fees, and a list of approved Transcriptionists are
available on the Court’s website, www.ca.cjis20.org, or by calling the Court’s Electronic Court Reporting
Department at 239-533-8207.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers, at Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida on this 12/8/2020.
