What material may be included as an addendum to a brief?
Unless authorized by the court, briefs may not contain maps, photographs, or other addenda (22 NYCRR 670.10.3[h][2]). To this rule there are two exceptions. First, briefs that have an addendum for the convenience of the court containing the text of cited but difficult to obtain cases, statutes, rules, and regulations, etc., will be accepted for filing (22 NYCRR 670.10.3[h][1]). Second, if an appeal or proceeding is prosecuted on the original papers, the appellant’s or petitioner’s brief must include either an addendum containing a copy of the notice of appeal, the order or judgment appealed from, and the opinion or decision of the court, if any, or a copy of the order transferring the proceeding to this court (22 NYCRR 670.10.3[g][2][vi]).
