3d Cir. I.O.P. 10.8

10.8.1 Unless the clerk has been designated to act thereon, a motion for extension

of time for filing a petition for rehearing or for leave to file out of time is

referred to the author, who has authority to grant an extension of time. If

the authoring judge votes to deny, the motion is referred to the entire panel

for disposition.

10.8.2 Inasmuch as a stay of mandate is ordinarily not a requirement for filing a

petition for a writ of certiorari, it is the practice of this court not to grant a

motion for stay of the mandate or to recall the mandate unless the failure

to grant a stay affects a substantive right of the applicant.

10.8.3 A motion to amend the judgment of the court is referred to the panel.

10.8.4 A motion to extend time to file a bill of costs is determined by the clerk.

An appeal from the clerk's ruling is referred to the authoring judge, unless

the author was a visiting judge, in which case it is referred to the ranking

active judge who voted with the majority.
