How should a brief be bound?
The Local Rules call for a brief to be bound securely along the left margin. The Court does not care how it’s bound. Usually, people use a staple in the upper left corner or a spiral binding. If you use staples-you must tape the back of the staples to ensure they don’t protrude from the back of the brief. If you don’t the brief will probably be stricken. (Local Rule 6(A).
