An appeal from a judgment freeing a minor who is a dependent
child of the juvenile court from parental custody and control, or
denying a recommendation to free a minor from parental custody or
control, shall have precedence over all cases in the court to which
an appeal in the matter is taken.  In order to enable the child to be
available for adoption as soon as possible and to minimize the
anxiety to all parties, the appellate court shall grant an extension
of time to a court reporter or to counsel only upon an exceptional
showing of good cause.
