Criminal Procedure. The appellant shall, within fourteen (14) days of the date of filing of the
appeal, serve and submit a brief. The United States Attorney shall serve and submit a brief
within fourteen (14) days after receipt of a copy of the appellant's brief. The appellant may
serve and submit a reply brief within seven (7) days after receipt of the appellee's brief. The
appeal shall be considered and disposed of on the briefs without hearing or oral argument
unless the judge to whom the appeal is assigned specifically directs otherwise upon an
application for such hearing or argument by one or both of the parties. Any appellant who fails
to comply with this rule shall be deemed to have withdrawn the appeal. If the United States
Attorney in any such appeal fails to comply with this rule, it shall be deemed that the United
