Answer:
We cannot give legal advice, and this is not a substitute for the advice of a local attorney. However, here are some points to consider:
To file an appeal, you typically need to submit a Notice of Appeal within the required timeframe. You can file this notice even if you haven't received the transcripts yet. After filing the Notice of Appeal, you can gather your materials, including the transcripts. There is usually a deadline for this, but you can request an extension if necessary. Explain the reason for the delay (i.e., waiting for the transcripts) in your motion, and judges often grant these requests.
Since this is an in-litigation matter, it’s crucial to consult with a local attorney to ensure you meet all requirements and protect your interests effectively.
