EXPLANATORY NOTE Rule 13 was amended stylistically, effective 3/1/2003. The appellate process includes not only parties and their attorneys, but also the person preparing the transcript, clerks of district court, district court judges, and others. Although Rule 13 will be used sparingly, it is necessary in order to protect the appellate process from abuse.
