GR 9 Cover Sheet

Suggested change to RAP 17.3 (b) (8)

A.    Name of Proponent: Washington Court of Appeals Rules Committee.

B.     Spokesperson:  Honorable Kevin M. Korsmo, Chair, Washington Court of Appeals Rules Committee.

C.    Purpose:  The suggested change requires that parties include a table of contents in the appendix to a motion for discretionary review filed pursuant to Title 17 and that the appendix pages be consecutively numbered.

In 2014, the Supreme Court amended RAP 6.2(c), which applies to motions for discretionary review filed pursuant to Title 6, to require that appendices include a table of contents and consecutively-numbered pages. This requirement has been very helpful when reviewing those motions. It would be equally helpful to the appellate courts if the appendices to motions filed pursuant to RAP 17.3 also included a table of contents and consecutively-numbered pages.
