IOP § II(E): Discipline of Counsel
Rules of Appellate Procedure and Internal Operating Procedures of the Eighth Circuit — Internal Operating Procedures: II. Attorneys
A member of the bar is subject to suspension or disbarment for improper conduct and may be disciplined for failure to comply with the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure or Eighth Circuit Rules. See FRAP 46(c). Counsel should notify the clerk’s office promptly of any problem in a pending appeal. The clerk works with counsel to resolve procedural or other problems that could result in disciplinary action. Failure to meet briefing deadlines or submit timely motions for extensions of time may result in the issuance of an order directing counsel to show cause why discipline should not be imposed.
