RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

1173 

Clerk of this Court to certify and transmit the record, or any 
part  of  it,  the  clerk  of  the  court  having  possession  of  the 
record  shall  number  the  documents  to  be  certiﬁed  and  shall 
transmit  therewith  a  numbered  list  speciﬁcally  identifying 
each document transmitted.  If the record, or stipulated por­
tions, have been printed for the use of the court below, that 
printed record, plus the proceedings in the court below, may 
be  certiﬁed  as  the  record  unless  one  of  the  parties  or  the 
Clerk  of  this  Court  requests  otherwise.  The  record  may 
consist  of  certiﬁed  copies,  but  if  the  lower  court  is  of  the 
view  that original  documents of  any  kind should  be seen  by 
this  Court,  that  court  may  provide  by  order  for  the  trans­
port, safekeeping, and return of such originals. 

Rule 13.  Review on Certiorari: Time for Petitioning 

1.  Unless otherwise provided by law, a petition for a writ 
of certiorari to review a judgment in any case, civil or crimi­
nal, entered by a state court of last resort or a United States 
court  of  appeals  (including  the  United  States  Court  of  Ap­
peals  for  the  Armed  Forces)  is  timely  when  it  is  ﬁled  with 
the  Clerk  of  this  Court  within  90  days  after  entry  of  the 
judgment.  A petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review 
of a judgment of a lower state court that is subject to discre­
tionary  review  by  the  state  court  of  last  resort  is  timely 
when it is ﬁled with the  Clerk within 90 days after entry of 
the order denying discretionary review. 

2.  The  Clerk  will  not  ﬁle  any  petition  for  a  writ  of  cer­
tiorari  that  is  jurisdictionally  out  of  time.  See,  e. g., 28  
U. S. C. § 2101(c). 

3.  The  time  to  ﬁle  a  petition  for  a  writ  of  certiorari  runs 
from the date of entry of the judgment or order sought to be 
reviewed, and not from the issuance date of the mandate (or 
its equivalent under local practice).  But if a petition for re­
hearing  is  timely  ﬁled  in  the  lower  court  by  any  party,  or  if 
the  lower  court  appropriately  entertains  an  untimely  peti­
tion  for  rehearing  or  sua  sponte  considers  rehearing,  the 
time to ﬁle the petition for a writ of certiorari for all parties 
(whether  or  not  they  requested  rehearing  or  joined  in  the
