Circuit Rule 4-1, Counsel in Criminal Appeals. The revisions to Circuit Rule 4-1 (Counsel in Criminal Appeals) clarify the scope and application of the rule with respect to the responsibilities of counsel (both retained and appointed) in criminal and habeas corpus appeals, and abrogate subsection (f), payment of appointed counsel, which will be replaced by a separate CJA Plan for the Court of Appeals. Because of the nature of the revisions, they are provided in both clean and redlined versions. If ultimately approved by the Court, these rules would become effective December 1, 2023. Please direct comments to Molly C. Dwyer, Clerk of Court, at Molly_Dwyer@ca9.uscourts.gov, and Susan V. Gelmis, Chief Deputy Clerk, at Susan_Gelmis@ca9.uscourts.gov. Comments must be submitted no later than July 31, 2023.
