10th Cir. R. 11
11.1 Record retained in district court (appendix filed).
(A) Notice from district court. In appeals in which an appendix is
required by Rule 30.1, see also 10th Cir. R. 10.3(B), the district
court clerk will notify the parties and the circuit clerk when the
record is complete (i.e., when the appellant certifies that no
transcript will be ordered or the transcript is filed).
(B) Appendix. Appellant electronically files the appendix
concurrently with the opening brief. The appendix must comply
with all provisions of 10th Cir. R. 30.1. The appellee may file a
supplemental appendix in accordance with Rule 30.2.
11.2 Record transmitted to court of appeals (when required).
(A) Designated record. In an appeal in which an appellant is
represented by appointed counsel, the district court clerk must
forward the record to the circuit clerk as required by Federal Rule
of Appellate Procedure 11(b). See also 10th Cir. R. 10.3(A). The
record must include any transcript that has been filed for the
appeal.
(B) Pro se record. In pro se appeals, a record on appeal will be
prepared and docketed. See 10th Cir. R. 10.3(C).
(C) Original file. In a pro se appeal in which the district court denies
the appellant permission to proceed without prepayment of fees
or denies a certificate of appealability, the district court clerk may
transmit the district court’s “original file” to the circuit clerk.
(D) Electronic submission. When the district court clerk transmits a
record electronically, the various volumes shall be forwarded as
separate .pdf files. Pleadings must be bookmarked, and sealed
volumes shall be identified as such.
11.3 Sealed materials.
(A) In the appendix. Rule 25.6 applies to sealed materials in the
appendix.
(B) In the record on appeal. When materials sealed by district
court order are forwarded as part of the record, the district court
clerk must:
(1) separate the sealed materials from other portions of the
record;
(2) enclose them in an envelope clearly marked “Sealed” if
forwarded in hard copy or identify them as sealed in a
separate electronic volume when transmitted; and
(3) affix a copy of the sealing order to the outside of the
envelope if the sealed material is not available electronically.
(C) P retrial services reports, presentence investigation reports,
and statements of reasons. Pretrial services reports,
presentence reports, and statements of reasons are confidential.
If a pretrial services report, a presentence report, or a statement
of reasons is forwarded as part of the record on appeal, the
district court clerk must treat it like sealed material under this
rule.
