RAP 9.5
FILING AND SERVICE OF REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS—OBJECTIONS
(a) Generally. The party seeking review must file an agreed or narrative report of proceedings with the appellate court within 60 days after the statement of arrangements is filed. The court reporter or authorized transcriptionist preparing a verbatim report of proceedings must file it in the appellate court within 60 days after the statement of arrangements is filed and all named court reporters or authorized transcriptionists are served. The court reporter or authorized transcriptionist shall promptly notify all parties that the report of proceedings has been filed with the appellate court, and shall provide a copy of the report of proceedings to the party who arranged for the transcript.
(1) A party filing a brief must promptly forward a copy of the verbatim report of proceedings with a copy of the brief to the party with the right to file the next brief. If more than one party has the right to file the next brief, the parties must cooperate in the use of the report of proceedings. The party who files the last brief should return the copy of the report of proceedings to the party who paid for it. This subsection does not apply if the party with the right to file the next brief participates in electronic filing and has thereby received electronic copies of the verbatim report of proceedings.
