Rule 8006-1 Record on Appeal

(a) Designating Record on Appeal. Unless the parties file timely a written designation of record with the clerk pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8006 designating the papers which shall constitute the record on appeal, the clerk shall forward to the proper appellate court a certification that no designation of record was filed.

(b) Copies of Record.

(1) If the appeal is to the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the First Circuit ("BAP"), the party filing a designation of items to be included in the record on appeal shall not include copies of the documents designated.

(2) If the Court of Appeals certifies a direct appeal, until that time in which electronic transmittal of the record on appeal is implemented, the party filing a designation of items to be included in the record on appeal shall file with the designation either:

(A) a complete and correct copy of all items designated; or

(B) a copy request form with check payable to the "Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court" for the total amount of copies needed to complete the record on appeal. Copy request forms are available from the clerk's office upon request.

(c) Documents filed after Record on Appeal is Transmitted. After transmittal of the record to the district court or the BAP, any further documents pertaining to the appeal must be filed with the clerk of the district court or the clerk of the BAP.
