                                   RULE 9.8
                         TRANSMITTING RECORD ON REVIEW


     (a) Duty of Trial Court Clerk. Except as provided in section (b), the
clerk of the trial court shall send the clerk's papers and exhibits to the
appellate court when the clerk receives payment for the preparation of the
documents and shall send the verbatim report of proceedings to the appellate
court at the end of the objection period set forth in rule 9.5. The clerk shall
endorse on the face of the record the date upon which the record on review is
transmitted to the appellate court.

    (b) Cumbersome Exhibits.  The clerk of the trial court shall transmit to
the appellate court exhibits which are difficult or unusually expensive to
transmit only if the appellate court directs or if a party makes arrangements
with the clerk to transmit the exhibits at the expense of the party requesting
the transfer of the exhibits. No weapons, controlled substances, hazardous
items, or currency shall be forwarded unless directed by the appellate court.

     (c) Temporary Transmittal to another Court. If the record or any part of
it is needed in another court while a review is pending, the clerk of the
appellate court will, on the order or ruling of the appellate court, transmit
the record or part of it to the clerk of that court, to remain there until the
purpose for which it is transmitted has been satisfied or until the clerk of
the appellate court requests its return.
