Notice of Adoption of Amendments to Local Rule 35.0, Local Rule 40.0, and Internal Operating Procedure X

The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit previously provided notice of proposed amendments to Local Rule 35.0, Local Rule 40.0, and Internal Operating Procedure X. The court solicited comments on the proposed amendments. In response to non-substantive comments on the proposed changes to Local Rule 40.0 from the court's Rules Advisory Committee, the court reorganized that rule's subsections, edited two headings for clarity, and changed references to "petition for rehearing" to "petition for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc" for completeness. No additional comments were received.

The court hereby provides notice of the final adoption of the amendments. A copy of Local Rule 35.0, Local Rule 40.0, and Internal Operating Procedure X, with the amendments incorporated, is attached.
