8th Cir. R. 32A
BRIEFS AND REPLY BRIEFS RESPONDING TO MULTIPLE BRIEFS
(a) Appellee Briefs in Consolidated Criminal Cases Involving
Multiple Appellants. In consolidated criminal appeals involving
multiple appellants, the United States must file a single appellee brief.
The type-volume limitations set forth in FRAP 32(a)(7)(B)(I) apply
to the brief. If the United States believes presentation of the cases
would be aided by separate appellee briefs, it may file a motion, at
least 7 days prior to the brief due date, setting forth good cause to file
separate briefs. Inability to comply with the type-volume limitations
set forth in FRAP 32(a)(7)(B)(I) is not good cause for filing separate
briefs.
(b) Appellee Briefs in Consolidated Civil Cases Involving
Multiple Appellants. In consolidated civil cases involving multiple
appellants, each separately-represented appellee must file a single
appellee brief. The type- volume limitations set forth in FRAP
32(a)(7)(B)(I) apply to the appellee brief.
(c) Reply Briefs in Appeals Involving Multiple Appellees. In cases
involving multiple appellee briefs, appellant must file a single reply
brief responding to all of the appellee briefs. The type-volume
limitations set forth in FRAP 32(a)(7)(B)(ii) apply to the reply brief.
