RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

pages of the joint appendix at which each part begins.  The 
relevant  docket  entries  shall  be  set  out  after  the  table  of 
contents, followed by the other parts of the record in chrono­
logical  order.  When  testimony  contained  in  the  reporter’s 
transcript of proceedings is set out in the joint appendix, the 
page  of  the  transcript  at  which  the  testimony  appears  shall 
be  indicated  in  brackets  immediately  before  the  statement 
that  is  set  out.  Omissions  in  the  transcript  or  in  any  other 
document printed in the joint appendix shall be indicated by 
asterisks.  Immaterial  formal  matters  (e. g.,  captions,  sub­
scriptions,  acknowledgments)  shall  be  omitted.  A  question 
and its answer may be contained in a single paragraph. 

6.  Two lines must appear at the bottom of the cover of the 
joint  appendix:  (1)  The  ﬁrst  line  must  indicate  the  date  the 
petition  for  the  writ  of  certiorari  was  ﬁled  or  the  date 
the  appeal  was  docketed;  (2)  the  second  line  must  indicate 
the  date  certiorari  was  granted  or  the  date  jurisdiction  of 
the appeal was noted or postponed. 

7.  Exhibits  designated  for  inclusion  in  the  joint  appendix 
may  be  contained  in  a  separate  volume  or  volumes  suitably 
indexed.  The transcript of a proceeding before an adminis­
trative agency, board, commission, or ofﬁcer used in an action 
in  a  district  court  or  court  of  appeals  is  regarded  as  an  ex­
hibit for the purposes of this paragraph. 

8.  The  Court,  on  its  own  motion  or  that  of  a  party,  may 
dispense  with  the  requirement  of  a  joint  appendix  and  may 
permit  a  case  to  be  heard  on  the  original  record  (with  such 
copies  of  the  record,  or  relevant  parts  thereof,  as  the  Court 
may  require)  or  on  the  appendix  used  in  the  court  below,  if 
it conforms to the requirements of this Rule. 

9.  For  good  cause,  the  time  limits  speciﬁed  in  this  Rule 
may  be  shortened or  extended  by  the  Court or  a  Justice,  or 
by the Clerk under Rule 30.4. 

Rule 27.  Calendar 

1.  From time to time, the Clerk will prepare a calendar of 
cases  ready  for  argument.  A  case  ordinarily  will  not  be
