Committee reviews technical amendment to Appellate Rule 30 to reinstate printed-case filing deadline
Summary
The Legislative Committee on Judicial Rules reviewed a proposed corrective amendment to Appellate Rule 30 designed to reinstate a filing deadline for printed cases for appellants and appellees; the committee offered comments but took no formal action.
Alan, chair of the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules, presented a proposed technical amendment to Appellate Rule 30 that would reinstate a filing deadline for printed cases after an earlier omission.
Alan described the change as corrective and technical: the appellate rules revision reinstates a filing deadline by adding a section to rule 30 and renaming a subsection (section e) as the filing-deadline provision for both the appellant’s and the appellee’s printed case.
Committee staff and members clarified the committee’s role at the comment stage: the committee may review and submit comments during the public comment period but that review is not a statutory obligation; the court may accept, modify, or decline to incorporate committee comments before promulgation.
Members discussed comment deadlines and timing. Alan said the rule was in the comment stage; at a later point Emily Butler, deputy clerk of the supreme court, stated that the comment period for that appellate rule had already closed though promulgation had not yet occurred. The committee recorded no formal objections and indicated it had no additional comments to place on the record.
No motion or formal vote was required or taken on the rule at the meeting; the committee’s feedback will be recorded in the minutes and submitted per the court’s comment process.
