prescribes. On request of the court, the filer must provide original documents for review. (h) Sanctions for Failure to Comply. Failure to comply with the court’s rules may result in dismissal of the appeal or other action as deemed appropriate by the court. (i) Corrections to Filings. (1) General. A document may not be corrected merely by filing or appending an errata sheet. A party wishing to make non-substantive corrections to any document currently on file with the clerk of court must file a Notice of Correction. Substantive corrections may only be made with leave of the court. (2) Format. A corrected document must indicate “corrected” in the title or on the cover. A new proof of service must be attached to any corrected filing that is not being served through the court’s electronic filing system. The “corrected” notation is not required on a document when changes have been ordered by the court or the clerk of court. (3) Notice of Correction. A Notice of Correction must be filed contemporaneously with the corrected document and must specifically delineate each correction. A Notice of Correction is not required for changes to a document when those changes have been ordered by the court or the clerk of court. (4) Required Copies. If paper copies have already been submitted, an adequate number of corrected paper copies must be filed.
