    In re FLORIDA RULES OF JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION.
    No. 54525.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Nov. 2, 1978.
   PER CURIAM.

On June 30, 1978, this Court adopted the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration to take effect on 12:01 a. m., July 1,1978. On July 21, 1978, this Court entered an order suspending the effective date of Rule 2.070(f), Fla.R.Jud.Admin., until 12:01 a. m., January 1, 1979, to afford the court reporters of this state a reasonable transition period to comply with the provisions of the rule. This Court further invited the Florida Shorthand Reporters Association to submit clarifying language for uniform interpretation of the rule by all court reporters.

The following rule meets this Court’s purpose to require uniform court reporter transcripts for all judicial proceedings in and for all courts throughout the state and therefore replaces Rule 2.070(f), Fla.R.Jud.Admin., adopted by the Court on June 30, 1978, effective 12:01 a. m., January 1, 1979.

ENGLAND, C. J., and ADKINS, BOYD, OVERTON, SUNDBERG, HATCHETT and ALDERMAN, JJ., concur.
