(C)             Purpose:  The Washington Court of Appeals Rules Committee proposes an amendment to RAP 9.5(a) to correspond to current practice. The Court of Appeals no longer requires that the court reporter/transcriptionist file a Notice of Filing Verbatim Report with the Court. It is the responsibility of the reporter or transcriptionist to notify the parties directly that the report of proceedings has been filed.
