*211DUFFY, Circuit Judge
(concurring in the result).
I agree the appendix prepared by appellant leaves much to be desired, and appellant’s counsel are subject to criticism for not fully complying with our Rule 16 (b). Nevertheless, I think this case should be decided upon the merits.
The District Judge granted a motion for summary judgment on the basis that defendant was trying to vary the terms of a written contract. I think we can determine from the record before us that there is no genuine issue of any material fact as to defendant’s purpose in executing what was, in form and substance, a bill of sale. Therefore, the District Court was correct in granting plaintiff’s motion for a summary judgment.
