IOPs to FRAP 12: Docketing the Appeal; Filing a Representation Statement; Filing the Record
Rules and Internal Operating Procedures of the Eleventh Circuit — Title II. Appeal from a Judgment or Order of a District Court
1. Docketing an Appeal. Appeals are immediately docketed upon receipt of the notice of appeal and district court docket entries. A general docket number is assigned and all counsel and pro se parties are so advised. Failure to pay the docket fee does not prevent the appeal from being docketed but is grounds for dismissal of the appeal by the clerk under the authority of 11th Cir. R. 42-1.
2. Appearance of Counsel Form. An Appearance of Counsel Form is the required form for the Representation Statement required to be filed by FRAP 12(b). See 11th Cir. R. 46-5.
