¶3Before MERRILL and KILKENNY, Circuit Judges, and BELLONI, District Judge*

¶5PER CURIAM:

¶6We agree with the District Court that in order to afford appellee an effective and meaningful review on appeal the State of California must either furnish her with a transcript of her trial proceedings or grant her a new trial. That portion of the order, however, requiring the presence of an official reporter at any retrial is stricken.

¶7The order of the District Court granting habeas corpus relief is affirmed as modified.
