4th Cir. R. 12(e)
Intervention
A party who appeared as an intervenor in a lower court proceeding shall be considered a party
to the appeal upon filing a notice of appearance. Otherwise, a motion for leave to intervene must be
filed with the Court of Appeals. Any notice of appearance or motion to intervene should indicate the
side upon which the movant proposes to intervene. The provisions of FRAP 15(d) govern
intervention in appeals from administrative agencies. Intervenors are required to join in the brief
for the side which they support unless leave to file a separate brief is granted by the Court.

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.
