RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

(i)  If review of a state-court judgment is sought, spec­
iﬁcation  of  the  stage  in  the  proceedings,  both  in  the 
court of ﬁrst instance and in the appellate courts, when 
the federal questions sought to be reviewed were raised; 
the  method  or  manner  of  raising  them  and  the  way  in 
which  they  were  passed  on  by  those  courts;  and  perti­
nent quotations of speciﬁc portions of the record or sum­
mary thereof, with speciﬁc reference to the places in the 
record  where  the  matter  appears  (e. g.,  court  opinion, 
ruling on exception, portion of court’s charge and excep­
tion thereto, assignment of error), so as to show that the 
federal question was timely and properly raised and that 
this Court has jurisdiction to review the judgment on a 
writ of certiorari.  When the portions of the record re­
lied  on  under  this  subparagraph  are  voluminous,  they 
shall be included in the appendix referred to in subpara­
graph 1(i). 

(ii)  If  review  of  a  judgment  of  a  United  States  court 
of appeals is sought, the basis for federal jurisdiction in 
the court of ﬁrst instance.

relied on for allowance of the writ.  See Rule 10. 

(i)  An appendix containing, in the order indicated: 

(i)  the  opinions,  orders,  ﬁndings  of  fact,  and  conclu­
sions  of  law,  whether  written  or  orally  given  and  tran­
scribed,  entered  in  conjunction  with  the  judgment 
sought to be reviewed; 

(ii)  any  other  relevant  opinions,  orders,  ﬁndings  of 
fact, and conclusions of law entered in the case by courts 
or  administrative  agencies,  and,  if  reference  thereto  is

those  in  companion  cases  (each  document  shall  include
