Notice is hereby given that the court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2071 and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 47, proposes an amendment to Fifth Cir. R. 28.2.2.
The current rule requires parties to cite to the record on appeal but does not prescribe the format for such citation. A standardized citation format for single record and multiple record cases will aid both parties and the court. The court also proposes this change consistent with Fifth Cir. R. 25.2.15, to incorporate changes in technology.
