if such was done; (2) an affidavit of the court reporter, if there was one, or

the record on appeal shall have been extended by this Court, all motions for

was one, or if not, an affidavit or other written document from the State
Court's Administrator stating why the transcript has not been prepared within
the time as extended by this court and the date on which it is reasonably
