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."
