N.Y. New York City Criminal Court Act § 91: Stenographers to furnish copies of proceedings

§ 91. Stenographers to furnish copies of proceedings. Upon any

examination, hearing or trial, where stenographic minutes of the

proceedings have been taken by an official stenographer of the court, or

by a stenographer employed for the purpose, such stenographer must upon

request furnish, with all reasonable diligence, to the defendant or his

attorney, or to the complainant or his attorney, or to a party in a

civil case arising out of the same state of facts or to his attorney, a

copy transcribed from his stenographic notes of such minutes, testimony,

proceedings, or part thereof, upon the examination, hearing or trial,

upon payment of the fees therefor by the person requiring such copy. If

such copy is required by the district attorney or the attorney general

or by a superior court when a defendant has been held for the action of

a grand jury pursuant to article one hundred eighty of the criminal

procedure law, a stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor, but he

must furnish the copy upon receiving a certificate of the sum to which

he is entitled, which shall be a city or state charge and must be paid

by the proper financial officer of the city or state upon such

certificate, like other city or state charges. In all cases of appeal

from an order or judgment made or rendered in the court, where a

transcript of the stenographer's minutes of the proceedings and

testimony given on the trial or hearing, becomes a necessary part of the

record on appeal, the stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor in

the same manner as provided in this section, which shall be paid or a

certificate therefor furnished by the appellant, as the case may be.
