(c) Notice to Appellant in Criminal Case When Defendant is Appellant. In a criminal
case, the clerk will, at the time of filing of defendant/appellant’s brief, advise the

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.
