Order Amending Indiana Rules of Appellate Procedure

Under the authority vested in this Court to provide by rule for the procedure employed in all courts of this state and this Court’s inherent authority to supervise the administration of all courts of this state, the Indiana Rules of Appellate Procedure are amended as follows (deletions shown by striking and new text shown by underlining):

. . .

Rule 43. Form Of Briefs And Petitions . . .

D. Print Size. The font shall be Arial, Baskerville, Book Antiqua, Bookman, Bookman Old Style, Century, Century Schoolbook, Courier, Courier New, Calisto MT, CG Times, Garamond, Georgia, New Baskerville, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, or Times New Roman and the typeface shall be 12-point or larger in both body text and footnotes.

. . .

Appendix A. Standards for Preparation of Electronic Transcripts . . .

(6) Typeface and Line Spacing. The font, which must be 12-point type or smaller, shall be one of the fonts listed in Appellate Rule 43(D) and black in color, beginning July 1, 2016 and ending on June 30, 2018. Effective July 1, 2018, all Transcripts shall use the font Calisto MT, 12-point or smaller, and be black in color. Lines shall be double-spaced. . . . (19) Malware. The Court Reporter shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Transcript and other files do not contain malicious software (“malware”), such as viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. The Clerk will scan all files for malware. Any files that contain malware will be rejected by the Clerk and will not be processed. Rejection of a filing because it contains malware will not necessarily excuse a late filing.

These amendments shall take effect on July 1, 2018.
