RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

1197 

the joint appendix shall be paid initially by the petitioner or 
appellant;  but  a  petitioner  or  appellant  who  considers  that 
parts of the record designated by the respondent or appellee 
are  unnecessary  for  the  determination  of  the  issues  pre­
sented  may  so  advise  the  respondent  or  appellee,  who  then 
shall advance the cost of printing the additional parts, unless 
the Court or a Justice otherwise ﬁxes the initial allocation of 
the  costs.  The  cost  of  printing  the  joint  appendix  is  taxed 
as a cost in the case, but if a party unnecessarily causes mat­
ter  to  be  included  in  the  joint  appendix  or  prints  excessive 
copies, the Court may impose these costs on that party. 

4.  (a)  On the parties’ request, the Clerk may allow prepa­
ration  of  the  joint  appendix  to  be  deferred  until  after  the 
briefs  have  been  ﬁled.  In  that  event,  the  petitioner  or  ap­
pellant  shall  ﬁle  the  joint  appendix  no  more  than  14  days 
after  receiving  the  brief  for  the  respondent  or  appellee. 
The provisions of paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this Rule shall be 
followed,  except  that  the  designations  referred  to  therein 
shall  be  made  by  each  party  when  that  party’s  brief  is 
served.  Deferral of the joint appendix is not favored. 

(b)  If the deferred method is used, the briefs on the merits 
may  refer  to  the  pages  of  the  record.  In  that  event,  the 
joint appendix shall include in brackets on each page thereof 
the  page  number  of  the  record  where  that  material  may  be 
found.  A party wishing to refer directly to the pages of the 
joint appendix may serve and ﬁle copies of its brief prepared 
as  required  by  Rule  33.2  within  the  time  provided  by  Rule 
25,  with  appropriate  references  to  the  pages  of  the  record. 
In that event, within 10 days after the joint appendix is ﬁled, 
copies of the brief prepared as required by Rule 33.1 contain­
ing references to the pages of the joint appendix in place of, 
or  in  addition  to,  the  initial  references  to  the  pages  of  the 
record,  shall  be  served  and  ﬁled.  No  other  change  may  be 
made  in  the  brief  as  initially  served  and  ﬁled,  except  that 
typographical errors may be corrected. 

5.  The  joint  appendix  shall  be  prefaced  by  a  table  of  con­
tents showing the parts of the record that it contains, in the 
order  in  which  the  parts  are  set  out,  with  references  to  the
