REPORTER’S NOTE
Nancy S. Forster, Esq., Deputy Public Defender, sent a
letter to the Rules Committee, explaining that there are cases in
which the Office of the Public Defender pays $3.75 per page for
the transcript when a defendant notes an appeal. Then private
counsel enters an appearance, but he or she does not reimburse
the Office of the Public Defender for the cost of the transcript.
Instead private counsel obtains a copy of the transcript from the
court reporter at the much lower rate of 75 cents per page. Ms.
Forster requested an amendment to Rule 8-402 (b) that would
require private counsel to certify that he or she already had
reimbursed the Office of the Public Defender for the cost of the
transcript before the attorney is permitted to enter an
appearance. Instead of this change, the Rules Committee
recommends that Rule 8-608 (a) be amended to require the Clerk of
the appellate court, when computing costs, to state that the
Office of the Public Defender paid for the transcript, so that
this cost can be reimbursed to that Office, if possible.
