RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

1171 

2.  A petitioner proceeding in forma pauperis under Rule 
39 shall ﬁle an original and 10 copies of a petition for a writ 
of  certiorari  prepared  as  required  by  Rule  33.2,  together 
with  an  original  and  10  copies  of  the  motion  for  leave  to 
proceed in forma pauperis.  A copy of the motion shall pre­
cede  and  be  attached  to  each  copy  of  the  petition.  An  in­
mate  conﬁned  in  an  institution,  if  proceeding  in  forma  pau­
peris  and  not  represented  by  counsel,  need  ﬁle  only  an 
original petition and motion. 

3.  Whether  prepared  under  Rule  33.1  or  Rule  33.2,  the 
petition  shall  comply  in  all  respects  with  Rule  14  and  shall 
be  submitted  with  proof  of  service  as  required  by  Rule  29. 
The  case  then  will  be  placed  on  the  docket.  It  is  the  peti­
tioner’s  duty  to  notify  all  respondents  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 notice shall be served as required by Rule 29. 

4.  Parties  interested  jointly,  severally,  or  otherwise  in  a 
judgment may petition separately for a writ of certiorari; or 
any two or more may join in a petition.  A party not shown 
on  the  petition  as  joined  therein  at  the  time  the  petition  is 
ﬁled may not later join in that petition.  When two or more 
judgments are sought to be reviewed on a writ of certiorari 
to  the  same  court  and  involve  identical  or  closely  related 
questions,  a  single  petition  for  a  writ  of  certiorari  covering 
all the judgments sufﬁces.  A petition for a writ of certiorari 
may  not  be  joined  with  any  other  pleading,  except  that  any 
motion  for  leave  to  proceed  in  forma  pauperis  shall  be 
attached. 

5.  No  more  than  30  days  after  a  case  has  been  placed  on 
the  docket,  a  respondent  seeking  to  ﬁle  a  conditional  cross-
petition  (i. e.,  a  cross-petition  that  otherwise  would  be  un­
timely)  shall  ﬁle,  with  proof  of  service  as  required  by  Rule 
29,  40  copies  of  the  cross-petition  prepared  as  required  by 
Rule 33.1, except that a cross-petitioner proceeding in forma 
pauperis  under  Rule  39  shall  comply  with  Rule  12.2.  The 
cross-petition shall comply in all respects with this Rule and 
Rule  14,  except  that  material  already  reproduced  in  the  ap­
