MINUTES OF THE COURT
December 20, 2013

PRESENT: THE HONORABLE WILLIAM G. COBB, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DEPUTY CLERK:

KATIE LYNN OGDEN REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s “Motion - Order for Transcript of December 3, 2013 - 9:30 a.m.
Hearing.” (Doc. 83.) Plaintiff states that he wishes to utilize the transcript for evidence at trial and
offers to pay for the transcript at ten (10) cents per page. (Id. at 1.) Defendants have filed a nonopposition to the Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. # 86).
The court is advised that transcripts of hearings are only prepared if they are ordered and paid
for in advance. The price of the transcript has been set by the Judicial Conference at $3.65 per page
for the original (or first request for a copy). If an original has already been ordered, the cost of a
copy would be 90¢ per page. Since there have been no other requests for the preparation of the
transcript of the hearing Plaintiff has requested, his cost would be $3.65 per page, paid in advance.1
The court believes that a copy of the transcript is not warranted in view of the detailed
Minutes of Proceedings (Doc. # 79) and this court’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 85).
However, if Plaintiff wants a copy of the transcript, he may order and pay for it in advance.
Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. # 83) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
