4th Cir. R. 30(c)
Responsibility of Parties
Notwithstanding that FRAP 30 provides that the appellant shall prepare and file the appendix,
the Court considers the coordination of preparing the appendix to be the responsibility of both sides.
The failure of a side to designate does not absolve the other side from the responsibility.
Except under the most extraordinary circumstances, supplementary appendices will not be
accepted. If the appellant omits from the appendix the portions designated by the appellee, the
appellant will be required to file a corrected appendix incorporating such material, and to bear the
cost regardless of the outcome of the appeal.
If a party files a motion for leave to file a supplemental appendix, the motion must specifically
identify the contents of the supplemental appendix, state that the items are matters of record, and set
forth good cause why the original appendix should not be returned for insertion of the additional
materials.
