Serial: 209369 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI No. 89-R-99027-SCT IN RE: MISSISSIPPI RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE ORDER This matter is before the en banc Court on the Court’s own motion. Because court reporters are no longer required to acknowledge receipt of the designation of record and the certificate of compliance, we find that the Court Reporter’s Acknowledgment forms under Appendix I, Form 2, and Appendix IV of the Mississippi Rules of Appellate Procedure should be struck. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Court Reporter’s Acknowledgment forms under Appendix I, Form 2, and Appendix IV of the Mississippi Rules of Appellate Procedure are struck as set forth in the attached Exhibit A. The amendments are effective upon entry of this order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court must spread this order upon the minutes of the Court and forward a certified copy to West Publishing Company for publication as soon as practicable in the advance sheets of Southern Reporter, Third Series (Mississippi Edition), and in the next edition of the Mississippi Rules of Court.
