Rule 8015-1 Commencement of Appeal

(a) Form of Briefs.

(1) Briefs must conform to Rule 8015, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or United States District Court for the District of Alaska Local Civil Rule 10.1.

(2) References to the record on appeal must be made to: [A] the docket entry number and page of the pleading; or [B] the volume and page of the transcript of any oral proceedings.

(b) Filing Fee. Where a debtor has obtained a waiver of the bankruptcy case filing fee, any request to waive the filing fee for an appeal made in connection with the underlying bankruptcy case must be made by separate motion filed with the bankruptcy court. The waiver of the bankruptcy case filing fee does not effectuate a waiver of a filing fee due on commencement of an appeal.
