Rule 30 Printed Case

(a) Required Printed Case.

(1) When Required. The appellant must file a printed case in all appeals except:

(A) A printed case is not required in small claims appeals or appeals from the Human Services Board and Employment Security Board.

(B) The Court may waive the requirement on its own initiative or on a party’s motion.

(2) Contents. A required printed case must contain extracts from the record that are necessary to present fully the questions raised, including:

(A) the relevant record of actions in the proceedings below;

(B) the relevant parts of the pleadings, charge, findings, or opinion;

(C) the judgment, order, or decision in question; and

(D) other parts of the record to which the parties wish to direct the Court’s attention.

(b) Supplemental Printed Case. The appellee may file a supplemental printed case.

(c) Optional Printed Case. When a printed case is not required under (a), any party may file an optional printed case containing extracts from the record to which the party wishes to direct the Court’s attention.

(d) Format.

(1) The pages of the printed case must be numbered sequentially so that the electronic and paper page references are consistent. This may be done either by designating the cover page as page one or by using separate sectional pagination and adjusting the PDF settings so that the page search function recognizes the numbering scheme.

(2) The sections of the printed case must be reproduced in the following order:

(A) a table of contents—listing the parts of the record included, with references to the page of the printed case and the page of the appeal volume, if one exists for the case, at which each part begins;

(B) the decision appealed from;

(C) the record of actions; and

(D) the remaining parts of the record in chronological order.

(3) Only materials that are part of the record below may be included in the printed case. The Court and the parties may rely on parts of the record that are not included in the printed case.

(e) Filing Deadlines. The appellant must file a required printed case, or any optional printed case, when the appellant’s principal brief is filed. The appellee must file a supplemental printed case, if any, when the appellee’s principal brief is filed.

(f) Costs of Production. Mindful that the entire record is always available to the Court, the parties must not include unnecessary material in the required printed case or supplemental printed case. The cost of producing a required paper printed case is a taxable cost. If any party unnecessarily produces a printed case or causes unnecessary parts of the record to be included in the required printed case, the Court may impose the cost of producing those parts on that party.
