Discovery: USING TRANSCRIPTS AS EVIDENCE

7030-1:  Discovery: USING TRANSCRIPTS AS EVIDENCE

LBR 7030-1 provides the procedure for using transcripts of recorded testimony as evidence at a trial in an adversary proceeding or at a hearing in a contested matter.  Other bankruptcy related transcripts of testimony -- i.e. testimony that was not recorded during a deposition -- may include transcripts from a Rule 2004 Examination, from a 341(a) Meeting of Creditors, or from another hearing or trial.

All parties to the proceeding must participate in the process of preparing transcripts of recorded testimony, which includes marking and countermarking the specific testimony that a party wishes to offer as evidence in a trial or to support a motion.

An original copy of the complete transcript must be delivered to the court, AND another copy that tabs, marks and countermarks the exact portion of the transcript at issue.  Contact the judge's law clerk or courtroom deputy to determine the process of delivering these documents to the court. 

  • Please read carefully the provisions of LBR 7030-1       
  • DO NOT simply file or lodge your transcripts   
  • DO NOT simply attach a transcript to a Request for Judicial Notice
  • Please review FRBP 9014(c) in section 4 of The Central Guide
