RULE 9.2
                        VERBATIM REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS


    (a) Transcription and Statement of Arrangements. If the party seeking
review intends to provide a verbatim report of proceedings, the party should
arrange for transcription of and payment for an original and one copy of the
verbatim report of proceedings within 30 days after the notice of appeal was
filed or discretionary review was granted. If the proceeding being reviewed was
recorded on videotape, transcription of the videotapes shall be completed by a
court-approved transcriber in accordance with procedures developed by the
Office of the Administrator for the Courts. Copies of these procedures are
available at the court administrator's office in each county where there is a
courtroom that videotapes proceedings or through the Office of the
Administrator for the Courts. The party seeking review must file with the
appellate court and serve on all parties of record and all named court
reporters a statement that arrangements have been made for the transcription of
the report and file proof of service with the appellate court. The statement
must be filed within 30 days after the notice of appeal was filed or
discretionary review was granted. The party must indicate the date that the
report of proceedings was ordered, the financial arrangements which have been
made for payment of transcription costs, the name of each court reporter or
other person authorized to prepare a verbatim report of proceedings who will be
preparing the transcript, the hearing dates, and the trial court judge. If the
party seeking review does not intend to provide a verbatim report of
proceedings, a statement to that effect should be filed in lieu of a statement
of arrangements within 30 days after the notice of appeal was filed or
discretionary review was granted and served on all parties of record.

    (b) Content. A party should arrange for the transcription of all those
portions of the verbatim report of proceedings necessary to present the issues
raised on review. A verbatim report of proceedings provided at public expense
will not include the voir dire examination or opening statement unless so
ordered by the trial court. If the party seeking review intends to urge that a
verdict or finding of fact is not supported by the evidence, the party should
include in the record all evidence relevant to the disputed verdict or finding.
If the party seeking review intends to urge that the court erred in giving or
failing to give an instruction, the party should include in the record all of
the instructions given, the relevant instructions proposed, the party's
objections to the instructions given, and the court's ruling on the objections.

    (c) Notice of Partial Report of Proceedings and Issues. If a party seeking
review arranges for less than all of the verbatim report of proceedings, the
party should include in the statement of arrangements a statement of the issues
the party intends to present on review. Any other party who wishes to add to
the verbatim report of proceedings should within 10 days after service of the
statement of arrangements file and serve on all other parties and the court
reporter a designation of additional parts of the verbatim report of
proceedings and file proof of service with the appellate court.  If the party
seeking review refuses to provide the additional parts of the verbatim report
of proceedings, the party seeking the additional parts may provide them at the
party's own expense or apply to the trial court for an order requiring the
party seeking review to pay for the additional parts of the verbatim report of proceedings.

    (d) Payment of Expenses. If a party fails to make arrangements for payment
of the costs of the verbatim report of proceedings at the time the verbatim
report of proceedings is ordered, the party may be subject to sanctions as
provided in rule 18.9.
