When may the appellee order missing transcript parts or ask the district court to require them?

Establish the actual designation service and the appellant’s applicable response period independently.

Include any applicable Rule 26(c) addition and actual extension when establishing preceding expiry.

Verify whether all designated parts were ordered and the appellee notified within that period.

Only then enter actual expiry to calculate the following fourteen days.

1. Establish the starting event independently.
2. Exclude that triggering day.
3. Count the following fourteen calendar days.
4. Check final-day holidays, inaccessibility and actual directions.

Exclude the verified triggering day and count fourteen calendar days under FRAP 26(a)(1). If the final day is Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, continue to the next open day. Check actual inaccessibility and any applicable order.

FRAP 26(a)(6) includes federal holidays and days declared holidays by the President or Congress. For a period after an event, it also includes holidays declared by the state where the challenged district court or circuit clerk’s principal office is located. The national calendar does not infer additional state holidays, actual inaccessibility or local directions.

Fictitious example

The appellant’s actual Rule 10(b)(3)(C) period expires July 6, 2026, without all designated parts being ordered and the appellee notified. Count the following fourteen days after the established expiry. July 20 is the assumed open final day. Assume no additional state holiday, inaccessibility or different court direction.

Fictitious dates. Establish the actual trigger and required acts separately. The calculation does not prove ordering, notification, filing or service.

Conditional ensuing period

Rule 10(b)(3)(C) makes this following period conditional on the appellant not completing the required order and notice within its applicable period.

Two permitted choices

The appellee may order the missing parts or move in the district court for an order requiring the appellant to do so.

Upstream service affects expiry

The appellant’s period follows designation service and may require Rule 26(c). This calculator accepts verified expiry; it does not add service days to or calculate that preceding period.

Ordering and motion are different acts

Ordering entails reporter payment arrangements under Rule 10(b)(4). A motion seeks district-court relief and does not itself constitute a transcript order or guarantee a grant.

• This guide does not select the necessary transcript, classify a motion, infer actual service or read court directions.
• Authorized direct bankruptcy appeals and district-court/BAP appellate bankruptcy appeals have separate Rule 6 record procedures.

• Establish actual appellant-period expiry after all applicable additions and extensions.
• Verify incomplete ordering or notice at that expiry.
• Choose ordering the missing parts or moving in the district court.
• If ordering, arrange payment with the reporter.
• If moving, complete the district court’s actual filing and service requirements.
• The motion alternative belongs in the district court under Rule 10(b)(3)(C). Electronic district-court filing uses that court’s time zone under Rule 26(a)(4)(A); ordinary paper filing requires receipt before the designated clerk closes. Read the district court’s actual motion and service requirements. The order alternative instead requires an accepted reporter order and satisfactory payment arrangements. This date does not prove either completed act.
