A:
When preparing your APP-003 form for a clerk's transcript on appeal in California, you should designate the specific timeframe within the register of actions that you want included, rather than just checking the box.
In attachment 4b, provide the exact date range of entries you need from the register. This helps ensure you receive all relevant documents and avoids confusion or missing crucial entries. Starting from your case filing date might exclude important pre-filing entries like temporary orders or related cases that could be relevant to your appeal.
The best practice is to review the complete register of actions first, identify all entries that could be relevant to your appeal issues, and then specify those dates in your designation. Remember that you're responsible for providing an adequate record for your appeal, so being precise in your designation helps prevent potential issues later in the appellate process. If you're unsure about which entries to include, it's better to designate a broader timeframe than risk missing essential documents.
