Comments on Proposed Amendments to the Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29 and Form 4 (Feb 2025)

NACDL is pleased to submit our comments on the proposed amendments to Rule 29 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and to Appeals Form 4. Overall, the theme of our comments is that the proposals appear to over-look the particular characteristics of federal criminal and related appeals, and would impose unwarranted burdens on many amici and on the judiciary itself in the great majority of appeals where the concerns that animate the proposals do not arise.
