APPENDIX ORDER
Due to the size of the record in this case, the following schedule for
designation of an appendix of the record is hereby established. The Complainant shall prepare, file
with the Board (one copy), and serve upon all other parties and intervenors (one copy each), an
appendix of the record. The appendix of the record shall contain: (1) relevant docket entries in the
proceeding before the Administrative Law Judge; (2) relevant portions of the transcript; and (3)
any other parts of the record to which the Complainant wishes to direct the attention of the
Board. The Complainant shall file the appendix at the time the initial brief is due, as set out in the
Order Establishing Briefing Schedule.
The parties are encouraged to agree as to the contents of the appendix. In
the absence of agreement, the Complainant shall, at the time the initial brief is filed, serve on the
Respondents (and all other parties and intervenors) a designation of the parts of the record which
the Complainant intends to include in the appendix. If the Respondents deem it necessary to direct
the attention of the Board to parts of the record not designated by the Complainant, the
Respondents shall, at the time of filing Respondents' reply briefs, serve upon Complainant (and all
other parties and intervenors) a designation of those parts.
The costs of the appendix shall be advanced and assessed as set out in Rule
30(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedures. The form of the appendix shall appropriately
follow Rules 30(d) and (e) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
An original and four copies of all pleadings and briefs (excluding the
designated appendix) shall be filed with the Administrative Review Board, United States
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-4309, Washington, DC 20210.
