What is the name of your state? FLORIDA - Pro Se
In a civil law suit, my deposition was taken in the course of 2 days; the firs being August 20th and the second one on August 25th by 2 different court reporters.
I just received an email from the second court reporter telling me that my transcripts are ready today (October 22nd) and I only have until October 25th to read and review of it; that if I don't go to the court reporters office to read and review the transcript, said transcript will be filled without further notice. (Court Hearing is this Monday October 28th).
Aren't the court reporters in Florida regulated that they must provide transcripts with enough notice to the parties?. The Court Reporter is giving me less than 3 business days to review the transcripts and I reside in a different county that the court reporters' office. It takes greater distance and time for me to go there.
I read Fla Stat. 1.310 (e) Witness Review and it states that If the testimony is transcribed, the transcript shall be furnished to the witness for examination and shall be read to or by the witness unless the examination and reading are waived by the witness and by the parties. Any changes in form or substance that the witness wants to make shall be listed in writing by the officer with a statement of the reasons given by the witness for making the changes. The changes shall be attached to the transcript. It shall then be signed by the witness unless the parties waived the signing or the witness is ill, cannot be found, or refuses to sign. If the transcript is not signed by the witness within a reasonable time after it is furnished to the witness, the officer shall sign the transcript and state on the transcript the waiver, illness, absence of the witness, or refusal to sign with any reasons given therefor.
I believe the court reporter is in bias with the other party ; first of all I haven't even heard from the first court reporter that took the first part of my deposition on August 20th and now this second court reporter is giving me no time to act.....
What could I do about this?...suggestions?. I am Pro Se.
