CIVIL APPEALS ARE GOVERNED BY STRINGENT PROCEDURES FOR
REQUESTING EXTENSIONS OF TIME TO FILE BRIEFS AND RECORD EXCERPTS.
RULES PROVIDE FOR DISMISSAL WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE WHEN A BRIEF
OR RECORD EXCERPTS IS NOT FILED OR CORRECTED WITHIN THE TIME
PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE CIRCUIT RULES AT WWW.CA11.USCOURTS.GOV
The referenced case has been docketed in this court. Please use the appellate docket number noted
above when making inquiries. Motions for extensions of time to file a brief are frowned upon by
the court.
Pursuant to 11th Cir. R. 12-1, the record in this appeal was deemed completed and filed on the
date the appeal was docketed in this court.
Eleventh Circuit Rule 31-1 requires that APPELLANT'S BRIEF AND RECORD EXCERPTS BE
SERVED AND FILED ON OR BEFORE October 22, 2012.
This is the only notice you will receive concerning the due date for filing briefs and record
excerpts. (In cross-appeals pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 28(h), the party who first files a notice of
appeal is the appellant unless the parties otherwise agree.) See Fed.R.App.P. 28, 30, 31 and 32,
and the corresponding circuit rules, for further information on preparing briefs and record
excerpts.
Attorneys registered to use ECF must file briefs electronically using the ECF system. Use of ECF
does not modify the requirements of the circuit rules that counsel must also provide seven (7)
paper copies of a brief to the court, nor does it modify the requirements of the circuit rules for the
filing of record excerpts or expanded record excerpts in a particular case.
Attorneys not registered to use ECF must, in addition to providing seven (7) paper copies of a
brief, upload the brief electronically using the EDF system. (Pro se parties may not use the EDF
system, but must provide the required number of paper copies.) The EDF system is described in
11th Cir. R. 31-5, and instructions are available on the court's Web site. An EDF ID number is
needed to upload your brief. If you do not remember your EDF ID number, you may look it up on
the court's Web site. When uploading a brief for the first time, you will be prompted to register
and create a password known only by you for all future uploads.
Attorneys and pro se parties in districts not participating in the Electronic Records on Appeal
Program must file record excerpts in conformance with 11th Cir. R. 30-1 and 30-2. Attorneys and
pro se parties in districts that are participating in the Electronic Records on Appeal Program, and
whose cases are included in the program, must file expanded record excerpts in conformance with
the Electronic Records on Appeal Program Components and Instructions for Preparing Expanded
Record Excerpts, available on the court's Web site. Pro se parties who are incarcerated are not
required to file record excerpts.
We have not yet received the Certificate of Interested Persons and Corporate Disclosure Statement
(CIP) required by FRAP 26.1 and the accompanying circuit rules. The rules provide that the
certificate must be filed by every appellant [and cross-appellant] with this court within 14 days
after the date the appeal is docketed in this court, or along with the filing in this court by any party
of any motion, petition, or pleading, whichever occurs first. The rules further provide that on the
Case: 12-14676
Date Filed: 09/12/2012

same day a paper certificate is served, the party filing it must also complete the court's web-based
certificate at the "Electronic Filing" link of the court's website, www.ca11.uscourts.gov , by
electronically providing the information required for that form. Only the ticker symbols for
publicly traded corporations that are listed on the paper CIP must be entered in the web-based
system. If your CIP does not include any publicly traded corporations, you are required to go to
the website and simply click the button indicating that you have no publicly traded corporations to
report. Pro se parties are not required or authorized to complete the web-based certificate.
You are hereby notified that the clerk is not authorized to submit to the court any brief (except for
the reply brief of an appellant or cross-appellant), petition, answer, motion or response that does
not contain the certificate, but may receive and retain the papers pending supplementation of the
papers with the required certificate. You are also hereby notified that failure to submit the required
certificate will result in your document(s) being returned unfiled which may ultimately result in
dismissal of your appeal.
Attorneys who wish to participate in this appeal must be properly admitted either to the bar of this
court or for this particular proceeding pursuant to 11th Cir. R. 46-1. An attorney not yet properly
admitted must file an appropriate application for admission within fourteen (14) days from this
date. In addition, all attorneys (except court-appointed counsel) who wish to participate in this
appeal must complete and return an appearance form within fourteen (14) days. Application for
Admission to the Bar and Appearance of Counsel Form are available on the Internet at
www.ca11.uscourts.gov . The clerk may not accept motions or other filings from an attorney until
that attorney files an appearance form. See 11th Cir. R. 46-5.
11th Cir. R. 33-1(a) requires appellant to file a Civil Appeal Statement in most civil appeals. You
must file an original and one copy of a completed Civil Appeal Statement, with service on all
other parties, within 14 days from the date of this letter. Civil Appeal Statement forms are
available on the Internet at www.ca11.uscourts.gov , and as provided by 11th Cir. R. 33-1(a).
MEDIATION. If a Civil Appeal Statement is required to be filed, your appeal and all related
matters will be considered for mediation by the Kinnard Mediation Center. The mediation services
are free and the mediation process is confidential. You may confidentially request mediation by
calling the Kinnard Mediation Center at 404-335-6260 (Atlanta) or 813-301-5530 (Tampa) or
305-714-1900 (Miami). See 11th Cir. R. 33-1.
Sincerely,
JOHN LEY, Clerk of Court
