(b) Procedures. If a magistrate judge decides to proceed under this rule, the following procedures apply:
(2) Creating a Record of the Testimony and Exhibits.
(B) Additional Testimony or Exhibits. If the judge considers additional testimony or exhibits, the judge must:
(ii) have any recording or reporter’s notes transcribed, have the transcription certified as accurate, and file it;
(iii) sign any other written record, certify its accuracy, and file it; and
(iv) make sure that the exhibits are filed.
(4) Preparing an Original Complaint, Warrant, or Summons. If the applicant reads the contents of the proposed duplicate original, the judge must enter those contents into an original complaint, warrant, or summons. If the applicant transmits the contents by reliable electronic means, the transmission received by the judge may serve as the original.
(5) Modification. The judge may modify the complaint, warrant, or summons. The judge must then:
(B) file the modified original and direct the applicant to modify the proposed duplicate original accordingly.
(B) enter the date and time of issuance on the warrant or summons; and
(C) transmit the warrant or summons by reliable electronic means to the applicant or direct the applicant to sign the judge’s name and enter the date and time on the duplicate original.
