July 24, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER re: Appellants' motion to electronically resubmit the separate appendix in multiple volumes. [ # 13 ] The motion is GRANTED only to the extent that the clerk shall file INSTANTER the received paper copies of the appellants opening brief in the main appeal. Because the paper copies of the separate appendix must be identical to the electronic submission and the received paper copies of the separate appendix are deficient, they will remain unfiled. Specifically, each volume of the separate appendix should include a white cover page. Fed. R. App. P. 32(b). Accordingly, the defendants shall electronically resubmit, by no later than July 31, 2026, the separate appendix in two volumes. This separate appendix will replace the single volume filed on June 9, 2026. Counsel should take care to make sure that each volume of the separate appendix is uploaded as a single document. The paper copies of the separate appendix will be due within seven days of the Notice of Docket Activity generated upon the clerks acceptance of the appendix. For more information, counsel may contact the clerks office. CDH [14] [7542547] [26-1945, 26-2165] (CG) [Entered: 07/24/2026 02:21 PM]
