SECTION 269

269.  (a) An official reporter or official reporter pro tempore of
the superior court shall take down in shorthand all testimony,
objections made, rulings of the court, exceptions taken,
arraignments, pleas, sentences, arguments of the attorneys to the
jury, and statements and remarks made and oral instructions given by
the judge or other judicial officer, in the following cases:
   (1) In a civil case, on the order of the court or at the request
of a party.
   (2) In a felony case, on the order of the court or at the request
of the prosecution, the defendant, or the attorney for the defendant.

   (3) In a misdemeanor or infraction case, on the order of the
court.
   (b) If a transcript is ordered by the court or requested by a
party, or if a nonparty requests a transcript that the nonparty is
entitled to receive, regardless of whether the nonparty was permitted
to attend the proceeding to be transcribed, the official reporter or
official reporter pro tempore shall, within a reasonable time after
the trial of the case that the court designates, write the
transcripts out, or the specific portions thereof as may be
requested, in plain and legible longhand, or by typewriter, or other
printing machine, and certify that the transcripts were correctly
reported and transcribed, and when directed by the court, file the
transcripts with the clerk of the court.
   (c) If a defendant is convicted of a felony, after a trial on the
merits, the record on appeal shall be prepared immediately after the
verdict or finding of guilt is announced unless the court determines
that it is likely that no appeal from the decision will be made.  The
court's determination of a likelihood of appeal shall be based upon
standards and rules adopted by the Judicial Council.
