Bankr. W.D. Mich. — Appellate rule
LBR 8009-1: Designation of Record and Issues on Appeal
(a) Specific Designation Required. The designation of record and issues on appeal required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8006 must expressly identify the specific issues on appeal and each item to be included in the record, including the item's entry number if docketed by the Court. General designations such as "all bankruptcy files" or "the entire case and/or proceeding record" are not acceptable and will result in the record on appeal being considered incomplete. Only that part of the record necessary for the appeal should be designated. Non-specific statements of the issues on appeal are also not acceptable.
(b) Exhibits and Undocketed Items. Any party who wishes to designate for the record on appeal a trial exhibit or item not appearing in the docket record must provide to the Clerk and all parties to the appeal a copy of the exhibit or item.
(c) Failure to Comply. Failure of any party to comply with the foregoing may be grounds for the dismissal of the appeal or cross appeal by the reviewing court.
