Pouncey Court Administrator P. O. Box 488 Purvis, MS 39475 Re: Mileage for Court Reporters You have asked for our opinion as follo s: I spoke with you about the Court Reporter's mileage from their home to primary place of employment. Judge Prichard asked that I get a written opinion from you on this matter. The Court Reporters of the 15th District do not have a primary place of employment. They all work at home on their transcripts, etc., when they are not in the courtroom. We issued an opinion to Jeffery Hollimon dated 4-27-95, copy attached, which stated that under 9-13-9(6) a court reporter may not claim and be paid mileage expenses for travel from the court reporter's home to his primary place of employment or 'main office'. The facts of the request from Mr. Hollimon were that the court reporter had a main office at the Forrest County Courthouse. As you stated on the phone, the court reporters in question herein work out of their homes, and their equipment is kept at home. If a court reporter has no office provided by the courts or counties in his circuit court district, and his main office 450 HIGH STREET - POST OFFICE BOX 220 - JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI 39205-0220 TELEPHONE (601) 359-3680 - FACSIMILE (601) 359-5025 Digitized from Best Copy Available
