9th Cir. R. 42-1
DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
When an appellant fails to file a timely record, pay the docket fee, file a timely brief, or
otherwise comply with rules requiring processing the appeal for hearing, an order may be entered
by the clerk dismissing the appeal. In all instances of failure to prosecute an appeal to hearing as
required, the Court may take such other action as it deems appropriate, including imposition of
disciplinary and monetary sanctions on those responsible for prosecution of the appeal.

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.
