activein force · 2009-12-01 – presentact-effective-date

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.
