DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID DOD–2012–OS–0007] 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed 

Forces Proposed Rules Changes 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Changes to 

the Rules of Practice and Procedure of 

the United States Court of Appeals for 

the Armed Forces. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

following proposed changes to Rules 

13A, 19(b), and 27(a)(4) of the Rules of 

Practice and Procedure, United States 

Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

change must be received within 30 days 

of the date of this notice. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

• Mail: Federal Docket Management 

System Office, 4800 Mark Center Drive 

East Tower, 2nd floor, Suite 02G09, 

Alexandria, VA 22350–3100. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

docket number for this Federal Register 

document. The general policy for 

comments and other submissions from 

members of the public is to make these 

submissions available for public 

viewing on the Internet at http:// 

regulations.gov as they are received 

without change, including personal 

identifiers or contact information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William A. DeCicco, Clerk of the Court, 

telephone (202) 761–1448. 

Dated: January 18, 2012. 

Aaron Siegel, 

Alternate OSD Federal Liaison Officer, 

Department of Defense. 

Rule 13A 

The proposed change to Rule 13A 

would add a new subparagraph (h) as 

follows: 

(h) Time Limitation. An amicus curiae 

brief submitted under this Rule is not 

subject to the time limitation in Rule 

26(b), but such brief shall be filed no 

less than 14 days before the scheduled 

date for oral argument. Both the 

appellant and the appellee may file a 

reply to such brief within 7 days of the 

filing thereof, subject to the limitations 

specified in Rule 24(b) and (c). 

Comment: The proposed change to 

Rule 13A would provide that a brief 

submitted under the Student Practice 

Rule would not fall under the normal 

deadline for filing amicus curiae briefs 

provided in Rule 26(b) (requiring filing 

within 10 days of the filing of the brief 

of the party supported), but rather 

would be due for filing no less than 14 

days before the scheduled date for oral 

argument. The proposal is intended to 

eliminate the problem posed in Project 

Outreach cases that are often selected 

and/or calendared well beyond the date 

for filing amicus curiae briefs. The 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
3240 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 14 / Monday, January 23, 2012 / Notices 

amended rule will allow these briefs to 

be timely filed. 

The proposal would not apply only to 

Project Outreach cases. Rather, as a 

general matter, law school clinical 

programs do not operate continuously 

through the year and may only become 

aware of cases where they with to file 

an amicus curiae brief well after the 

brief can be timely filed. This rule will 

better allow these programs to file briefs 

with the Court and, thereby, the rules 

will facilitate this vital part of law 

school training for appellate advocates. 

The proposed rule also gives the 

Court and the parties sufficient time to 

react to the student brief by requiring 

that it be filed no less than 14 days 

before oral argument and by allowing 

the parties the opportunity to respond 

within 7 days of the filing of the amicus 

curiae brief. 

Rule 19(b) 

The first sentences of Rule 19(b)(1), 

(2), and (3) currently read: 

(b) Certificate for review/brief/ 

answer/reply. 

(1) Article 62, UCMJ, cases. In cases 

involving a decision by a Court of 

Criminal Appeals on appeal by the 

United States under Article 62, UCMJ, 

10 U.S.C. 862, a certificate for review, 

together with a supporting brief in 

accordance with Rule 24 on behalf of 

the appellant, shall be filed with the 

Court by the Judge Advocate General no 

later than 30 days after the date of the 

decision of the Court of Criminal 

Appeals. 

(2) Extraordinary relief cases. In cases 

involving a decision by a Court of 

Criminal Appeals on application for 

extraordinary relief filed therein, a 

certificate for review, together with a 

supporting brief in accordance with 

Rule 24 on behalf of the appellant, shall 

be filed with the Court by the Judge 

Advocate General no later than 30 days 

after the date of the decision of the 

Court of Criminal Appeals. 

(3) Other cases. In all other cases 

involving a decision by a Court of 

Criminal Appeals, a certificate for 

review filed by the Judge Advocate 

General shall be filed either (a) no later 

than 30 days after the date of the 

decision of the Court of Criminal 

Appeals, or (b) no later than 30 days 

after a petition for grant of review is 

granted. 

The proposed changes to the first 

sentences of Rule 19(b)(1), (2) and (3) 

would read: 

(1) Article 62, UCMJ, cases. In cases 

involving a decision by a Court of 

Criminal Appeals on appeal by the 

United States under Article 62, UCMJ, 

10 U.S.C. 862, a certificate for review, 

together with a supporting brief in 

accordance with Rule 24 on behalf of 

the appellant, shall be filed with the 

Court by the Judge Advocate General no 

later than 60 days after the date of the 

decision of the Court of Criminal 

Appeals. 

(2) Extraordinary relief cases. In cases 

involving a decision by a Court of 

Criminal Appeals on application for 

extraordinary relief filed therein, a 

certificate for review, together with a 

supporting brief in accordance with 

Rule 24 on behalf of the appellant, shall 

be filed with the Court by the Judge 

Advocate General no later than 60 days 

after the date of the decision of the 

Court of Criminal Appeals. 

(3) Other cases. In all other cases 

involving a decision by a Court of 

Criminal Appeals, a certificate for 

review filed by the Judge Advocate 

General shall be filed either (a) no later 

than 60 days after the date of the 

decision of the Court of Criminal 

Appeals, or (b) no later than 30 days 

after a petition for grant of review is 

granted. 

Comment: Rule 19(b) currently allows 

30 days for the filing of certificates for 

review by the Judge Advocate General, 

although a service member is given 60 

days to file a petition for grant of 

review. Extension requests are filed in 

nearly all of the cases in which a 

certificate is to be filed, and the Rules 

Advisory Committee has determined 

that the 30 days allowed by this rule is 

insufficient time to obtain the necessary 

approvals and to file the certificate. 

This change to 60 days will not apply 

in those cases where the Court grants a 

petition for grant of review, and the 

government wishes to request the Judge 

Advocate General to file a certificate for 

review. In that event, the Judge 

Advocate General will continue to have 

30 days from the date the petition is 

granted to file the certificate for review. 

The 30-day deadline in these cases 

should not be extended because it will 

slow the processing of the case by the 

Court, and it will be less onerous 

because the case is already before the 

Court, making it easier for the services 

to determine whether they wish to bring 

additional issues before the Court in 

those cases. 

Rule 27(a)(4) 

The proposed change would delete 

Rule 27(a)(4) in its entirety: 

(4) Electronic message petitions. The 

Court will not docket petitions for 

extraordinary relief submitted by means 

of an electronic message or by facsimile 

without prior approval of the Clerk. 

Comment: This rule has become 

obsolete. It permits the filing of 

‘‘electronic message’’ petitions for 

extraordinary relief with the permission 

of the Clerk. This provision 

contemplated the use of military 

message traffic or facsimile to file such 

petitions. However, with the use of the 

current electronic filing program, the 

filing of pleadings by military message 

or facsimile is no longer necessary.
