Notice Designating Record

Body

This form is a Notice Designating Record on Appeal (Unlimited Civil Case). It is used by the appellant (the party who is appealing the decision of the lower court) to designate the documents and transcripts that they want to be included in the record on appeal. The record on appeal is the set of documents that the appellate court will review when deciding the appeal.

The appellant must choose one of the following options:

* **Appendix Only:** The appellant prepares their own appendix, which is a compilation of the documents and transcripts that they want to include in the record on appeal.
* **Appendix and Reporter's Transcript:** The appellant prepares their own appendix and also requests a reporter's transcript of the oral proceedings in the lower court.
* **Appendix and Agreed or Settled Statement:** The appellant prepares their own appendix and also requests an agreed or settled statement, which is a written summary of the oral proceedings that is agreed to by all of the parties in the case.

The appellant must also identify the specific documents and transcripts that they want to include in the record on appeal. They must provide the following information for each document or transcript:

* The title of the document or transcript
* The date it was filed or created
* The department in which it was filed or created
* A brief description of the document or transcript
* Whether it has been previously prepared (i.e., whether a transcript of it already exists)

The appellant must file this form with the clerk of the superior court in the county where the case was originally filed. They must also serve a copy of the form on all of the other parties in the case.
