AO 447: List of Proceedings Electronically Recorded

AO 447, List of Proceedings Electronically Recorded, is a one-page form headed Administrative Office of the United States Courts. The U.S. Courts page lists it under Other Forms, effective on April 1, 2013, and the PDF prints the edition AO 447 (Rev. 04/13).

It is an internal court record, not a filing. It has a line for the court recorder operator's name and the date, then a table with a tape number or archiving location, the judge or magistrate judge ID, the case number, and a 10-year or 20-year retention column for each recorded proceeding. At the bottom it totals the 90-minute and 20-minute tapes used. It has no line for a party, attorney or member of the public, and it prints no instructions.

This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
