If a deposition is not signed within 30 days, what does the court reporter do?

Collects additional information
Files a complaint
Forwards it to the judge
Records the fact of refusal

The correct answer is: Records the fact of refusal

When a deposition is not signed within the 30-day timeframe, the court reporter typically records the fact of the refusal. This is crucial because the signature on a deposition serves as a verification of the accuracy of the transcript by the deponent. If the deponent fails to sign, the court reporter must document this occurrence to maintain an accurate record of the events and the status of the deposition. This record-keeping helps preserve the integrity of the process and provides a clear account of the deponent's non-compliance, which can have implications for the case later on. In contrast, the other options do not accurately represent the court reporter's duties in this situation. For example, collecting additional information or filing a complaint would not align with the court reporter's responsibilities regarding the record of the deposition. Similarly, forwarding the deposition to the judge is not the appropriate course of action; it remains with the reporter until it is properly signed or recorded as unsigned.
