Proposed Ninth Circuit Rule Changes

 

The Ninth Circuit invites public comment on proposed Circuit Rule changes regarding Visual Images for Demonstrative Purposes in Briefs; Filing the Appeal; and Amicus Curiae Briefs relating to Petitions for Rehearing. Comments are due no later than August 5, 2022.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ยง 2071(b), comments are invited on proposed revisions to Circuit Rule 32-1, Visual Images for Demonstrative Purposes in Briefs; Circuit Rule 3-1, Filing the Appeal; and Circuit Rule 29-2, Amicus Curiae Briefs relating to Petitions for Rehearing. The proposed changes to Rule 32-1 and new accompanying Advisory Committee Note are intended to clarify whether and how visual images may be used in briefs for demonstrative purposes. The remaining proposed Rule changes are minor and are designed to clarify that filing fees in BAP appeals are paid to the Court of Appeals, and that Amicus Curiae briefs submitted under Rule 29-2 do not require a motion if all parties have consented. If ultimately approved by the Court, these rules would become effective December 1, 2022.
