10th Cir. R. 27.1: Disclosure of opponent’s position

Every motion filed under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 27 and this Rule must contain a statement of the opposing party’s position on the relief requested or why the moving party was unable to learn the opposing party’s position. Parties should make reasonable efforts to contact opposing parties well in advance of filing a motion. Motions filed in direct criminal appeals or postconviction proceedings to withdraw, continue appointment, or substitute counsel need not state opposing counsel’s position.
