N.Y. Judiciary Law § 302: Stenographers must furnish copies of proceedings

§ 302. Stenographers must furnish copies of proceedings. 1. Every

stenographer in a court of record must, upon request, furnish, with all

reasonable diligence, to the defendant in a criminal case, or a party,

or his attorney in a civil cause, a copy, written out at length from his

stenographic notes, of the testimony and proceedings, or a part thereof,

upon the trial or hearing, upon payment, by the person requiring the

same, of the fees allowed by law.

2. Except as provided in subdivision three of this section, in any

civil or criminal case, if the district attorney, the attorney general

or the judge presiding at the trial, or any appellate court or judge

thereof, requires such a copy, the stenographer is entitled to his fees

therefor; but he must furnish it, upon receiving a certificate of the

sum to which he is entitled. The amount thereof must be paid by the

treasurer of the county or city, as the case may be, where the trial or

hearing is held, upon the certificate of the district attorney, attorney

general, the judge presiding at the trial or hearing, or the appellate

court or judge thereof, from the court fund, or the fund from which

jurors are paid, or from any other available fund.

3. In any civil case when a transcript may be necessary, if the

attorney general requires such a copy, the cost of such copy shall be

paid out of funds appropriated to the department of law for that

purpose.
