10th Cir. R. 28.1: References to appendix or record

(A) Record references. For each issue raised on appeal, all briefs must cite the precise references in the record where the issue was raised and ruled on. Counsel are encouraged to include a footnote in the briefs at the point of the first record citation to confirm the citation convention.

(1) Appendix. References to the appendix should be by volume and page number (e.g., App. Vol. 2 at 27, or Supp. App. Vol. 2 at 14).

(2) Record. In cases without an appendix, references to the record should be to the record volume and page number (e.g., ROA, Vol. II, at 6). References to the transcript should be by volume and page number.

(B) Particular record references. Briefs must cite the precise references in the record where a required objection was made and ruled on, if the appeal is based on:

(1) a failure to admit or exclude evidence;

(2) the giving of or refusal to give a particular jury instruction; or

(3) any other act or ruling for which a party must record an objection to preserve the right to appeal.
