10th Cir. R. 28.3: Disfavored practices
Tenth Circuit Rules — Title VII. General Provisions
(A) Motions to exceed word counts are disfavored. Motions to exceed the word count will be denied unless extraordinary and compelling circumstances can be shown. A motion filed within 14 days of the brief’s due date must show why earlier filing was not possible.
(B) Incorporating by reference disapproved. Incorporating by reference portions of lower court or agency briefs or pleadings is disapproved and does not satisfy the requirements of Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 28(a) and (b).
(C) Use of passim disapproved. The Table of Authorities must not use the "passim" notation, but must instead list every page on which an authority is cited. Page ranges may be used if the authority is cited on every page in the range (e.g., "7-10" instead of "7, 8, 9, 10").
