Appellant and Appellee Subsequent to the Filing of the Appeal (a) Within ten days of filing an appeal, the appel- lant shall also file with the appellate clerk the fol- lowing: the appellant (1) A preliminary statement of the issues (JD- SC-038) intended for presentation on appeal. If any appellee wishes to: (A) present for review alternative grounds upon which the judgment may be affirmed; (B) present for review adverse rulings or decisions of the court which should be consid- is in the event ered on appeal awarded a new trial; or (C) claim that a new trial rather than a directed judgment should be ordered if the appellant is successful on the appeal, that appellee shall file a preliminary statement of issues within twenty days from the filing of the appellant’s preliminary statement of the issues. Except as otherwise provided, a party may as of right file amendments to the preliminary statement of issues at any time until that party’s brief is filed. Whenever the failure to identify an issue in a preliminary statement of issues prejudices an opposing party, the court may refuse to consider such issue. (2) A designation of the proposed contents of the clerk appendix (JD-SC-039) that is to be pre- pared by the appellate clerk under Section 68- 2A listing the specific documents docketed in the case file that the appellant deems are necessary to include in the clerk appendix for purposes of presenting the issues on appeal, including their dates of filing in the proceedings below, and, if applicable, their number as listed on the docket sheet. The appellant shall limit the designation to the documents referenced in Section 68-3A for inclusion in the clerk appendix. If any other party disagrees with the inclusion of any documents designated by the appellant, or deems it neces- sary to include other documents docketed in the case file in the clerk appendix, that party may, within seven days from the filing of the appellant’s designation of the proposed contents of the clerk appendix, file its own designation of the proposed contents of the clerk appendix. (3) A certificate stating that no transcript is deemed necessary (JD-SC-040) or a transcript order confirmation from the official court reporter pursuant to Section 63-8. If the appellant is to rely on any transcript delivered prior to the filing of the appeal, the transcript order confirmation shall indicate that an electronic version of a previously delivered transcript has been ordered. If any other party deems any other parts of the transcript necessary that were not ordered by the appellant, that party shall, within twenty days of the filing of the appellant’s transcript papers, file a transcript order confirmation for an order placed in compliance with Section 63-8. If the order is for any transcript delivered prior to the filing of the appeal, the transcript order confirmation shall indi- cate that an electronic version of a previously delivered transcript has been ordered. If, after filing a certificate regarding transcript, a party determines that additional transcripts from proceedings in the trial court action that is on appeal are necessary for the presentation of the issues on appeal, that party may amend their cer- tificate regarding transcript and file a transcript order confirmation from the official court reporter for the additional dates that are deemed neces- sary. Pursuant to this section, parties are permit- ted one amendment as of right to their transcript order, except as provided herein. The following amendments require permission of the court: (A) any additional amendments after the initial amendment permitted pursuant to this section; (B) any amendments that seek to add transcripts from a different trial court matter; (C) any amend- ments that seek to add hearing dates that occurred after the appeal was filed, except as provided in Section 61-9; (D) any amendments sought after a final order for the appellant’s brief has been issued; and (E) any amendments sought after the appellant’s brief has been filed. (4) A docketing statement (JD-SC-041) con- taining the following information to the extent known or reasonably ascertainable by the appel- lant: (A) the names and addresses of all parties to the appeal, and the names, addresses, and email addresses of trial and appellate counsel of record; (B) the case names and docket numbers of all pending cases, including appeals to the Supreme Court or Appellate Court, that arise from substantially the same controversy as the cause on appeal or involve issues closely related to those presented by the appeal; (C) the case name and docket number with respect to any active criminal protective order, civil protective order, or civil restraining order that governs any of the par- ties to the appeal as well as the case name and docket number with respect to any such order that has expired or previously was requested but not issued; and (D) in criminal and habeas cases, the defendant’s or petitioner’s conviction(s) and sentence(s) that are the subject of the direct crimi- nal or habeas appeal and whether the defendant or petitioner is incarcerated. If additional informa- tion is or becomes known to, or is reasonably ascertainable by the appellee, the appellee shall file a docketing statement supplementing the 465 © Copyrighted by the Secretary of the State of the State of Connecticut
