18 U.S.C. Section 4248Depositions and Transcripts • On May 7th, 2012, the Judges of this District adopted the following policy concerning depositions and transcripts that arise out of 4248 representations.
1. If DOJ initiates a deposition then DOJ pays the costs of the original transcript plus one extra copy. CJA funds will pay for the respondent’s copy. This arrangement includes the cost of court reporter’s fees and associated expenses. • 2. If a panel attorney initiates a deposition then CJA funds will pay the cost of the original transcript plus one copy. DOJ will then pay the cost of its copy. This arrangement includes the cost of court reporter’s fees and associated expenses.
How to Accomplish Payment • The court reporter’s appearance fee and travel expenses are to be submitted on a CJA 21 voucher and forwarded to our office, as you would with any other CJA 21 form. • The transcript request would be submitted on a CJA 24, in the same manner you would for any other transcript request.
If a panel attorney paid for the court reporter’s fees and associated expenses and/or a copy of the transcript out of pocket and is seeking reimbursement, the panel attorney will need to complete a CJA 21 and/or CJA 24 in order to be reimbursed. You cannot place these expenses on your CJA 20 voucher.
