Reminder re coming 9th Cir. ER rule

The Ninth Circuit has adopted new rules effective December 1, 2020, including significant revisions to rules governing excerpts of record and oversized briefs. Click here to see new Excerpts of Record Rule 30-1 and redlined versions of all other rule revisions. 

  • Parties shall cite to the initial Excerpts of Record in the following format: [volume number]-ER-[page number(s)]. If only one volume exists, the volume number shall be omitted. Multi-volume examples: 1-ER-12, 4-ER-874–76. Single-volume example: ER-26–32. The same format applies to Supplemental Excerpts of Record except that "SER" applies rather than "ER." The same format applies to Further Excerpts of Record except that "FER" applies rather than "ER."
