Federal Rulemaking


Appellate Rules Forms

Official Forms: The appellate rules forms are officially published in an Appendix of Forms accompanying the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

Word-Processing Templates: For user convenience, the Administrative Office Forms Working Group of judges and clerks has recommended making available to the public the unofficial WordPerfect and Word-compatible RTF versions linked below. Given their nature, language in these forms may require modification before the document can be filed with the court. Red font is used to draw attention to these instances. Instructions are enclosed in angle brackets, and alternative phrases appear in square brackets. These forms are therefore offered as templates based on the official published forms, but are not identical to them.

Appellate Form 1. Notice of Appeal to a Court of Appeals From a Judgment or Order of a District Court. (WP) (RTF)

Appellate Form 2. Notice of Appeal to a Court of Appeals From a Decision of the United States Tax Court. (WP) (RTF)

Appellate Form 3. Petition for Review of Order of an Agency, Board, Commission or Officer. (WP) (RTF)

Appellate Form 4. Affidavit Accompanying Motion for Permission to Appeal In Forma Pauperis. (WP) (RTF)

Appellate Form 5. Notice of Appeal to a Court of Appeals from a Judgment or Order of a District Court or a Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. (WP) (RTF)

Appellate Form 6. Certificate of Compliance With Rule 32(a). (WP) (RTF)
