appellate courts. */

(f) Seven copies of briefs shall be filed, but the court may
require that additional copies be filed.

party shall, without obtaining special leave of court, supplement
his brief by letter to the clerk of this court, three (3) extra
copies to the clerk, and copy to adversary counsel, setting forth
the citations.  There shall be a reference either to a page of
the brief or to a point orally argued to which the citations
pertain, but the letter shall contain no argument or

Rules 25, 26, or 27 or any other Rules of this court.

Rule 25.  Dismissal

(a) If upon the hearing of an interlocutory motion or as a result
of a review under Rule 24, it shall appear to the court, or a
division thereof, that the appeal is frivolous and entirely
without merit, the appeal will be dismissed.

(b) The court, sua sponte or on motion, may dismiss with
prejudice, for undue delay, any case in which there has been a
deliberate effort on the part of counsel to avoid prompt hearing
and disposition on the merits.

(c) The court also may dismiss sua sponte and summarily any
appeal of which the court's lack of jurisdiction clearly appears.

(d) When an appellant fails to comply with a requirement of the
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure or the Rules of this court,
the clerk shall notify the appellant or his counsel that upon the
expiration of 7 days from the date thereof the appeal will be
dismissed for want of prosecution, unless prior to that date
appellant remedies the default.  If the appellant fails to comply
within the 7 day period, the clerk shall then enter an order
dismissing the appeal for want of prosecution and shall issue a
certified copy thereof to the clerk of the district court as and
for the mandate.  In no case shall the appellant be entitled to
remedy his default after dismissal under this rule, unless by
order of the Chief Judge.

Rule 26.  Motion to Dismiss or Affirm

(a) Within a maximum of 10 days after the notice of appeal has
been filed in this court, the appellee may file a motion to
dismiss or a motion to affirm.  Where appropriate, a motion to
affirm may be united in the alternative with a motion to dismiss.
The limitation of 10 days may be extended by the court, a
division thereof, or the Chief Judge on proper showing of
extraordinary reasons for delay in filing a motion to dismiss or
affirm, upon such terms and conditions as may be prescribed, or
such extension may be granted sua sponte.

(b) The motion to dismiss or affirm shall be filed with the clerk
in conformity with Rule 27 of the Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure, except clause (d) thereof.

(c) The appellant shall have 7 days from the date of receipt of
the motion to dismiss or affirm within which to file a response
opposing the motion.

(d) The time for filing briefs pursuant to Rule 21 shall not be
tolled or extended by the filing of a motion to dismiss or
affirm.

/* The general rule is that motions do toll the time for further
actions. Again, this court is quite different. */

Rule 27.  Calendars

(a) Whenever the Chief Judge concludes sua sponte, or on the
recommendation of a judge acting under Rule 24 or of the assigned
panel, that a case is so insubstantial as to justify only limited
oral argument or as to justify no oral argument he may direct the
clerk to place the case on a restricted oral argument calendar or
a summary calendar.

(b) The clerk shall give written notice to the parties or their
counsel of the transfer of a case to the summary or restricted
oral argument calendar.

(c) Motions for restoration to the argument calendar will not
ordinarily be entertained by the court.

Rule 28.  Oral Argument

(a) Not more than two counsel shall be heard for each side in the
argument of a case, except by special leave of the court or a
division thereof, upon sufficient reason shown. Not more than one
counsel shall be heard for each side in cases placed on the
restricted oral argument calendar.

(b) Counsel in all cases scheduled for argument on the merits
shall be allotted 30 minutes to a side, except that only 15
minutes to a side shall be allotted to cases placed on the
restricted oral argument calendar and to motions scheduled for
argument.

(c) A motion or request for the allowance of additional time
pursuant to Rule 34(b), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure,
shall be filed or made not later than 7 days after appellee's
brief has been filed.

Where two or more cases are consolidated they shall be considered
as one case for the allotment of time for argument.

(d) Counsel for the parties, including counsel for any
intervenor, on each side may agree on the appointment of the
side's time; otherwise the court will apportion it.  Counsel for
an intervenor ordinarily shall be permitted to argue only to the
extent that counsel for the party on whose side he intervenes is
willing to share his allotted time.  If the apportionment is
agreed upon, counsel who opens the argument on his side shall
announce the apportionment.  The time so apportioned to each
party shall not be exceeded unless the court permits, in which
event the time apportioned to the other parties on that side will
not be reduced.

(e) A party who fails to file a brief shall not be heard at the
time of oral argument except by permission of the court.

(f) Amicus curiae will not be permitted to argue except on motion
in writing filed within the time allowed for filing the brief of
the appellee.

(g) Counsel may assume there will be no oral argument unless
advised by the clerk to appear at a time and place fixed by the
court.

Rule 29.  Opinions and Rulings of the Court

(a) Opinions shall be filed in the Office of the Clerk who shall
promptly reproduce them and distribute one copy to each party.

(b) In accordance with recommendations for improvement of
judicial administration, this court may, while according full
consideration of the issues, dispense with opinions where the
issues occasion no need therefor, and confine its action to such
abbreviated disposition as it may deem appropriate, e.g.,
affirmance by order of a decision or judgment of a court or
administrative agency; a judgment, or affirmance or reversal,
containing a notation of precedents, or accompanied by a brief
memorandum.

(c) If the record in any case is remanded to a court or agency,
this court retains jurisdiction over the case.

If the case is remanded, this court does not retain jurisdiction,
and a new notice of appeal will be necessary if a party seeks
review of the remand proceedings.

Rule 30.  En Banc Proceedings

(a) A majority of the judges of the court may order than an
appeal or other proceeding be heard or reheard by this court en
banc.  Such a hearing or rehearing is not favored and ordinarily
will not be ordered except (1) when consideration by the full
court is necessary to secure or maintain uniformity of its
decisions, or (2) when the proceeding involves a question of
exceptional importance.

(b) A party, pursuant to Rule 35(b), Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure, who suggests the appropriateness of hearing or
rehearing, en banc, where the suggestion is not contained in a
petition for rehearing, shall file an original and 10 copies of
said suggestion on or before the date on which appellee's brief
is due to be filed if the suggestion is for hearing en banc, or
within the time prescribed by Rule 40, Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure, for the filing of a petition for rehearing if the
suggestion is for rehearing en banc.  The suggestion shall not
exceed 10 pages in length and shall be served in compliance with
TECA Rule 23 and Rule 25, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

(c) If a party desires to suggest a rehearing en banc, the
suggestion must be made within the time prescribed by Rule 40,
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, for filing a petition for
rehearing, whether the  suggestion is made in such petition or
otherwise.  The pendency of such a suggestion, whether or not
included in a petition for rehearing, shall not affect the
finality of the judgment of the court of appeals or stay the
issuance of the mandate.

(d) The clerk shall transmit a suggestion for hearing or
rehearing en banc to the judges of the court but a vote will not
be taken to determine whether the cause shall be heard or reheard
en banc unless a judge of the court requests a vote on such a
suggestion made by a party.

(e) An original and eighteen copies of all en banc papers will be
filed with the court.

Rule 31.  Mandate

The mandate of the court shall issue 21 days after the entry of
judgment unless the time is shortened or enlarged by order of a
judge or the court.  The issuance and stay of mandates shall be
governed by Rules 35(c) and 41, Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure.

Rule 32.  Writ of Certiorari

Section 211(G) of the Economic Stabilization Act, as amended,
provides "Within 30 days after entry of any judgment or order by
the Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals, a petition for a writ
of certiorari may be filed in the Supreme Court of the United
States."

Rule 33.  Motions

(a) Motions will ordinarily be considered on motion papers and
briefs filed with the clerk.  An original and 6 copies of all
motions shall be filed, but a judge or the clerk may require
additional copies.  No oral argument will be heard unless ordered
by the court, a division thereof, or a judge thereof.  Motions
for oral argument will not be entertained.

(b) A motion for a stay of the judgment or order of a district
court pending appeal, pursuant to Rule 8(a), Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure, or for approval of a supersedeas bond, or
for an order suspending, modifying, restoring, or granting an
injunction during the pendency of an appeal shall include a copy
of the judgment decision or order involved and the opinion
thereon, if any.

(c) If there is failure to comply with the provisions of
subdivision (b) of this Rule, the court will not consider the
motion in question until there is either full compliance, or a
satisfactory explanation of the failure so to comply.

(d) A motion is affirmatively opposed only when a document is
filed (within the time limitations of Rule 27, Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure) which clearly sets forth opposition to the
relief sought in the motion with points and authorities
incorporated therein.

(e) The clerk is authorized in his discretion and subject to
review by the court to act for the court upon the following when
uncontested:

(1) Any motion for extension of time to file a pleading or
perform an act required by Rules 11, 12, 24, 27, 29 and 30,
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and Rules 17, 19, 21, and
