RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

the  appeal,  designate  the  judgment,  or  part  thereof,  ap­
pealed from and the date of its entry, and specify the statute 
or statutes  under which the  appeal is taken.  A copy  of the 
notice of appeal shall be served on all parties to the proceed­
ing as required by Rule 29, and proof of service shall be ﬁled 
in the district court together with the notice of appeal. 

2.  All  parties  to  the  proceeding  in  the  district  court  are 
deemed  parties  entitled  to  ﬁle  documents  in  this  Court,  but 
a party having no interest in the outcome of the appeal may 
so  notify  the  Clerk  of  this  Court  and  shall  serve  a  copy  of 
the  notice  on  all  other  parties.  Parties  interested  jointly, 
severally,  or  otherwise  in  the  judgment  may  appeal  sepa­
rately,  or  any  two  or  more  may  join  in  an  appeal.  When 
two or more judgments involving identical or closely related 
questions are sought to be reviewed on appeal from the same 
court, a notice of appeal for each judgment shall be ﬁled with 
the  clerk  of  the  district  court,  but  a  single  jurisdictional 
statement covering all the judgments sufﬁces.  Parties who 
ﬁle  no  document  will  not  qualify  for  any  relief  from  this 
Court. 

3.  No  more  than  60  days  after  ﬁling  the  notice  of  appeal 
in  the  district  court,  the  appellant  shall  ﬁle  40  copies  of  a 
jurisdictional statement and shall pay the Rule 38 docket fee, 
except  that  an  appellant  proceeding  in  forma  pauperis 
under Rule 39, including an inmate of an institution, shall ﬁle 
the number of copies required for a petition by such a person 
under Rule 12.2, together with a motion for leave to proceed 
in  forma  pauperis,  a  copy  of  which  shall  precede  and  be 
attached  to  each  copy  of  the  jurisdictional  statement.  The 
jurisdictional  statement  shall  follow,  insofar  as  applicable, 
the form for a petition for a writ of certiorari prescribed by 
Rule  14,  and  shall  be  served  as  required  by  Rule  29.  The 
case will then be placed on the docket.  It is the appellant’s 
duty  to  notify  all  appellees  promptly,  on  a  form  supplied  by 
the  Clerk, of  the  date  of ﬁling, the date  the case  was  placed 
on  the  docket,  and  the  docket  number  of  the  case.  The  no­
tice  shall  be  served  as  required  by  Rule  29.  The  appendix 
shall include a copy of the notice of appeal showing the date
