1177 

(iii)  any  order  on  rehearing,  including  the  caption 
showing  the  name  of  the  issuing  court,  the  title  and 
number of the case, and the date of entry; 

(iv)  the  judgment  sought  to  be  reviewed  if  the  date 
of  its  entry  is  different  from  the  date  of  the  opinion 
or  order  required  in  sub-subparagraph  (i)  of  this 
subparagraph; 

(v)  material  required  by  subparagraphs  1(f )  or 

1(g)(i); and 

(vi)  any  other  material  the  petitioner  believes  essen­

tial to understand the petition. 

If the material required by this subparagraph is voluminous, 
it  may  be  presented  in  a  separate  volume  or  volumes  with 
appropriate covers. 

2.  All  contentions  in  support  of  a  petition  for  a  writ  of 
certiorari shall be set out in the body of the petition, as pro­
vided  in  subparagraph  1(h)  of  this  Rule.  No  separate  brief 
in  support of  a petition  for  a writ  of certiorari  may be  ﬁled, 
and the Clerk will not ﬁle any petition for a writ of certiorari 
to which any supporting brief is annexed or appended. 

3.  A  petition  for  a  writ  of  certiorari  should  be  stated 
brieﬂy  and  in  plain  terms  and  may  not  exceed  the  word  or 
page limitations speciﬁed in Rule 33. 

4.  The  failure  of  a  petitioner  to  present  with  accuracy, 
brevity,  and  clarity  whatever  is  essential  to  ready  and  ade­
quate understanding of the points requiring consideration is 
sufﬁcient reason for the Court to deny a petition. 

5.  If the Clerk determines that a petition submitted timely 
and in good faith is in a form that does not comply with this 
Rule  or  with  Rule  33  or  Rule  34,  the  Clerk  will  return  it 
with a letter indicating the deﬁciency.  A corrected petition 
submitted in accordance with Rule 29.2 no more than 60 days 
after  the  date  of  the  Clerk’s  letter  will  be  deemed  timely.
