10th Cir. R. 30.3: Appendix exemptions

(A) Waiver of electronic appendix requirement. Any party may move to be exempt from the electronic appendix requirement by filing a motion at least 7 days prior to the due date for the principal brief and appendix. Except as provided in Rule 30.1(B)(2) for Social Security cases, if an exemption is granted, two hard copies of the required appendix must be filed with the Clerk within 5 days following issuance of notice that the electronic brief is compliant. A hard copy of the appendix must be served on all other parties to the appeal within that same 5 day period.

(B) Particular documents. If certain record materials cannot be readily copied, put in electronic form, or electronically filed, a party may seek to exempt those materials from the electronic appendix by filing a motion at least 7 days prior to the due date for the principal brief and appendix.

(C) Waiver of appendix requirement in pro bono cases. In pro bono cases, if production or creation of an appendix is too costly for the appellant to bear, the appellant may file a motion to proceed on a record on appeal.
