RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

1169 

2.  After  reasonable  notice  and  an  opportunity  to  show 
cause why disciplinary action should not be taken, and after 
a hearing if material facts are in dispute, the Court may take 
any appropriate disciplinary action against any attorney who 
is  admitted  to  practice  before  it  for  conduct  unbecoming  a 
member of the Bar or for failure to comply with these Rules 
or any Rule or order of the Court. 

Rule 9.  Appearance of Counsel 

1.  An attorney seeking to ﬁle a document in this Court in 
a  representative  capacity  must  ﬁrst  be  admitted  to  practice 
before  this  Court  as  provided  in  Rule  5,  except  that  admis­
sion to the Bar of this Court is not required for an attorney 
appointed  under  the  Criminal  Justice  Act  of  1964,  see  18 
U. S. C.  § 3006A(d)(6),  or  under  any  other  applicable  federal 
statute.  The  attorney  whose  name,  address,  and  telephone 
number  appear  on  the  cover  of  a  document  presented  for 
ﬁling  is  considered  counsel  of  record,  and  a  separate  notice 
of  appearance  need  not  be  ﬁled.  If  the  name  of  more  than 
one attorney is  shown on the cover of  the document, the at­
torney  who  is  counsel  of  record  shall  be  clearly  identiﬁed. 
See Rule 34.1(f). 

2.  An attorney representing a party who will not be ﬁling 
a  document  shall  enter  a  separate  notice  of  appearance  as 
counsel  of  record  indicating  the  name  of  the  party  repre­
sented.  A  separate  notice  of  appearance  shall  also  be  en­
tered whenever an attorney is substituted as counsel of rec­
ord in a particular case. 

PART  III.  JURISDICTION ON  WRIT OF  CERTIORARI 

Rule 10.	  Considerations Governing Review on 

Certiorari 

Review on a writ of certiorari is not a matter of right, but 
of judicial discretion.  A petition for a writ of certiorari will 
be  granted  only  for  compelling  reasons.  The  following,  al­
though  neither  controlling  nor  fully  measuring  the  Court’s 
discretion,  indicate  the  character  of  the  reasons  the  Court 
considers:
