(A) Font sizes in briefs.

The court prefers 14-point type as required by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32(a)(5)(A), but 13-point type is acceptable. Footnote font size should be the same as that used in the body of the brief.

(B) Word count where glossary included.

In calculating the number of words and lines that count toward the word and line limitations, the glossary required by Rule 28.2(C)(4) may be excluded, in addition to the items listed in Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32(f).
