Form of Record and Briefs - Parties, Docket Number, Method of Reproduction

Form of the Record and Briefs - Parties, Docket Number, Method of Reproduction.
 
Designation of Parties.
 
The parties to all appeals must be designated in the record and briefs by adding the word “Appellant,” “Respondent,” etc., as the case may be, following the party's name, e.g., “Plaintiff-Respondent,” “Defendant-Appellant,” “Petitioner-Appellant,” “Respondent- Respondent,” etc. (22 NYCRR 1250.6(d))
Parties who have not appealed and against whom the appeal has not been taken must be listed separately and designated as they were in the trial court, e.g., “Plaintiff,” “Defendant,” “Petitioner,” “Respondent.” (22 NYCRR 1250.6(d))
In appeals from the Surrogate's Court or from judgments on trust accountings, the caption shall contain the title used in the trial court including the name of the decedent or grantor, followed by a listing of all parties to the appeal, properly designated. In causes originating in the Appellate Division, the parties shall be designated “Petitioner” and “Respondent” or “Plaintiff” and “Defendant.” (22 NYCRR 1250.6(d))
 
Docket Number.
 
The cover of all records, briefs and appendices shall display the appellate division docket number assigned to the cause, or such other identifying number as the court shall direct, in the upper right-hand portion opposite the title. (22 NYCRR 1250.6(e)
Records and appendices must be consecutively paginated and must include accurate reproductions of the submissions made to the court of original instance, formatted in accordance with the practice in that court. (22 NYCRR 1250.7(a)
Reproductions may be slightly reduced in size to fit the page and to accommodate the page headings required by CPLR 5529 (c), provided, however, that such reduction does not significantly impair readability. (22 NYCRR 1250.7(a)
 
Method of Reproduction.
Briefs, records and appendices shall be reproduced by any method that produces a permanent, legible, black image on white paper or its digital equivalent. Use of recycled paper and reproduction on both sides of the paper is encouraged for hard copy filings and submissions. (22 NYCRR 1250.6(b)
Paper Quality, Size and Binding.
Paper shall be of a quality approved by the chief administrator of the courts and shall be opaque, unglazed, white in color and measure 11 inches along the bound edge by 8½ inches. Records, appendices and briefs shall be bound on the left side in a manner that shall keep all the pages securely together; however, binding by use of any metal fastener or similar hard material that protrudes or presents a bulky surface or sharp edge is prohibited. Records and appendices shall be divided into volumes not to exceed two inches in thickness. (22 NYCRR 1250.6(c)
