50 cases already pending in the appellate court on that date”. Comment. — The suggested fonts are in- cluded in recognition that most work is now done on word processors rather than typewrit- ers. While the original rule language was in- tended for typewritten briefs, the number 10 has been interpreted as referring to font sizes which generally produce more than 10 charac- ters per inch and are difficult to read as well as infringing upon intended page limitations for briefs. Source. — Rule 28(g), F.R.A.P. Cross references. — For additional re- quirements for preparing briefs, see Appendix II at the end of this set of rules. Supreme Court will strike briefs which are not submitted on proper size paper and may in its discretion refuse to grant leave to refile such briefs. Hance v. Straatsma, 721 P.2d 575, 1986 Wyo. LEXIS 584 (Wyo. 1986). And may ignore extra pages in brief. — Where the appellant’s brief was 77 pages long, seven pages over the limit, the appellate court deliberately ignored pages 71 through 77, a sanction specifically mentioned in Rule 1.02. JWR v. RG, 716 P.2d 984 (Wyo. 1986). Father’s brief violated this rule, as it ex- ceeded 80 pages and was single-spaced, and the court ignored the fourth issue as a result. Olsen v. Olsen, 2013 WY 115, 310 P.3d 888, 2013 Wyo. LEXIS 120 (Wyo. 2013). Law reviews. — Tyler J. Garrett, Anatomy of a Wyoming Appeal: A Practitioner’s Guide for Civil Cases, 16 Wyo. L. Rev. 139 (2016).
