(a) Guidelines.

Briefs of the parties shall be limited to an appellant’s brief, an appellee’s brief, and an appellant’s reply brief. Supplemental, amended, or corrected briefs may be filed only by leave of the Court. Counsel must file a motion for permission to file supplemental, amended, or corrected briefs, explaining why the supplement, amendment, or correction is necessary, identifying the changes being made, and attaching a copy of the proposed brief as an exhibit. If the motion is granted, any such briefs must comply with the limitation on length in Rule 24 (f). If paper filing, only the original must be filed. A certificate of service must be attached to the supplemental brief, and service must be made upon opposing counsel.

(b) Letter Briefs and Communication with the Court.

Parties are not permitted to file letter briefs. Any communication with the Court regarding recent authority which comes to the attention of a party subsequent to the filing of the party’s brief or after oral argument, but before decision, must be filed in compliance with Rule 27 (a) above as a supplemental brief. Any response shall be made promptly and in accordance with this rule.
