Ohio Loc. App. R. 47

As amended through October 15, 2024

Rule 47 - Removal Of Transcript

When a notice of appeal has been filed in a particular case, the entire file becomes subject to the exclusive direction and control of the court of appeals. With the filing of a notice, the authority of the court of appeals automatically supersedes any existing authority to allow the removal of a transcript from the trial court. After a notice of appeal has been filed, a transcript, whether part of the trial court record or filed on appeal, may be removed only:

(A) By order of the court of appeals, or upon application on a form provided to the clerk of courts and approved by the judges of the court for this purpose, and

(B) On condition that the transcript be returned within 14 days after the date of removal or 14 days before the date set for the hearing of argument, whichever is earlier.

Transcripts are official court records and may not be altered or defaced in any manner. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a contempt citation.
