90- 351 C.M.R. ch. 13, § 7
The appellant shall file five copies of an appendix to the appellant's brief with the clerk of the division no later than the date the appellant's brief is due. The panel acting through the presiding judge may require the appellant to file additional copies as needed. The appellant shall serve a copy of the appendix on each party on the same date the appellant files the appendix with the division.
The appendix must contain those documents from the record necessary for the review of the issue(s) on appeal, and must contain a table of contents. The parties shall confer and attempt to agree on the contents of the appendix. If the parties do not agree, no later than 14 days before the appendix is due under §7.1, the appellant shall provide the appellee with a list of the documents the appellant proposes to include in the appendix. If the appellee wishes to add documents to the appendix, within seven days the appellee shall designate the additional documents to include, and the appellant shall include those documents unless otherwise ordered by the panel acting through the presiding judge. The appendix may not include any documents that are not part of the board file or the record on appeal other than a supplement of legal authorities. The parties shall not include a document in the appendix more than once. Except for good reason, all documents referenced in the briefs should be included in the appendix.
Unless the parties otherwise agree or leave to proceed without payment of costs has been granted pursuant to §4 (1-A) of this rule, the appellant shall pay the costs of producing the appendix. If the appellee includes documents the appellant believes are unnecessary for the review of the issue(s) on appeal, the appellee shall advance the additional cost of producing the documents. At the conclusion of proceedings, the panel's presiding judge may assign responsibility for disputed costs to either or both parties.
Without prior approval of the clerk, the appendix may not exceed 150 double-sided sheets of paper that are clearly paginated. The appendix must be reproduced by standard printing or by a duplicating process capable of producing a clear black image on white paper. To the extent possible, pages must be printed on both sides, on 8 1/2" x 11" white, opaque, unglazed paper. The appendix must have a white cover that conforms with cover requirements for a brief as provided in §6.6(A) -(F).
