Rule 31.11. Appendix
(a) Applicability. A party may file an appendix with the party's brief in the Supreme Court and in Division One of the Court of Appeals. A party's appendix must be filed by the same method--paper or electronic--as the party's brief. An electronically filed brief in Division Two of the Court of Appeals must include electronic links when citing to the record on appeal and the brief must not include an appendix. A party may file an appendix in Division Two only if filing a paper brief.
(1) Page Numbering. The pages in an appendix must be numbered sequentially. An appendix page number should match the electronic page number of the viewing software. If a party files a combined brief and appendix, the first page of the appendix must include a number sequential to the last page of the brief. For a separately filed appendix, the numbers should start with the cover page of the appendix.
(3) Bookmarks and Hyperlinks. Each item in the appendix table of contents must include a bookmark or hyperlink to the item in the appendix. If feasible, a combined brief and appendix filed as a single document must contain bookmarks or hyperlinks to items in the appendix when these items are cited in the brief.
(3) Separate Filing. A party filing a paper appendix that is not combined with the brief must securely bind the appendix (for example, the pages of the appendix may be clipped or banded), but the binding must not use adhesives. The Supreme Court and Division One discourage the use of devices such as staples or two-pronged fasteners that perforate the pages of the appendix.
