entire corrected or amended document must be filed with the court.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in ORAP 5.05, parties may prepare any document
to be filed in an appellate court using either uniformly spaced type (such as produced by
typewriters) or proportionally spaced type (such as produced by commercial printers and many
computer printers). Uniformly spaced type must not exceed 10 characters per inch (cpi) for both
the text of the thing filed and footnotes. If proportionally spaced type is used, it must not be
smaller than 13 point for both the text of the thing filed and footnotes. This subsection does not
apply to the record on appeal or review.
(4) Parties using paper filing for any document are:
(a) Encouraged to print on both sides of each sheet of paper of the document
being filed.
(b) Required to use recycled paper if recycled paper is readily available at a
reasonable price in the party's community. Parties also are encouraged to use paper
containing the highest available content of post-consumer waste, as defined in ORS
459A.500(3), that is recyclable in the office paper recycling program in the party's
community. The court will not decline to accept any filing on the ground that the filing
does not comply with paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection.[fn 1]

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
