Rules and Internal Operating Procedures of the Eleventh Circuit — Title II. Appeal from a Judgment or Order of a District Court
When the record on appeal is in paper, the record shall be bound securely with durable front and back covers in a manner that will facilitate reading. The clerk of the district court or bankruptcy court as applicable shall index the record by means of document numbers in consecutive order. In civil appeals, including bankruptcy and prisoner (civil and habeas) appeals, to facilitate use of the record by the court and by counsel, the district court or bankruptcy court as applicable shall affix indexing tabs bearing those document numbers to identify orders and significant filings. Indexing tabs are not required to be affixed to records in criminal appeals.
