JOINT OR SEVERAL APPEALS OR PETITIONS FOR WRITS OF CERTIORARI; SUMMONS AND SEVERANCE ABOLISHED. Parties interested jointly, severally, or otherwise in a judgment may join in an appeal or a petition for writ of certiorari therefrom; or, without summons and severance, any one or more of them may appeal or petition separately or any two or more of them may join in an appeal or petition.

47.

FORM OF TYPEWRITTEN PAPERS.

1. All papers specifically permitted by these rules to be presented to the court without being printed shall, subject to Rule 53 (1), be typewritten or otherwise duplicated upon opaque, unglazed paper, 81⁄2 by 13 inches in size (legal cap), and shall be stapled or bound at the upper left-hand corner. The typed matter, except quotations, must be double-spaced. When more than one original is required by any rule, the copies must be legible.

2. The original copy of all typewritten motions and applications must be signed in manuscript by the party or by counsel, but, in a cause not yet docketed, such counsel need not be a member of the bar of this court.

48.

DEATH, SUBSTITUTION, AND REVIVOR-PUBLIC OFFICERS, SUBSTITUTION AND DESCRIPTION.

1. Whenever either party shall die after filing notice of appeal to this court or filing of petition for writ of certiorari in this court, the proper representative of the deceased may appear and, upon motion, be substituted as a party to the proceeding. If such representative shall not voluntarily become a party, the other party may suggest the death on the record, and on motion obtain an order that, unless such representative shall become a party within a designated time, the party moving for

such an order, if appellee or respondent, shall be entitled to have the appeal or petition for or writ of certiorari dismissed or the judgment vacated for mootness, as may be appropriate; and, if the party so moving be appellant or petitioner, shall be entitled to proceed as in other cases of nonappearance by appellee or respondent. Such substitution, or, in default thereof, such suggestions, must be made within six months after the death of the party, else the case shall abate.

2. Whenever, in the case of a suggestion made as provided in paragraph 1 of this rule, the case cannot be revived in the court whose judgment is sought to be reviewed because the deceased party has no proper representative within the jurisdiction of that court, but does have a proper representative elsewhere, proceedings shall then be had as this court may direct.

3. When a public officer is a party to a proceeding here in his official capacity and during its pendency dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold office, the action does not abate and his successor is automatically substituted as a party. Proceedings following the substitution shall be in the name of the substituted party, but any misnomer not affecting the substantial rights of the parties shall be disregarded. An order of substitution may be entered at any time, but the omission to enter such an order shall not affect the substitution.

4. When a public officer is a party in a proceeding here in his official capacity, he may be described as a party by his official title rather than by name; but the court may require his name to be added.

CUSTODY OF PRISONERS IN HABEAS CORPUS

PROCEEDINGS.

1. Pending review of a decision in a habeas corpus proceeding commenced before a court, justice or judge of the United States for the release of a prisoner, a per

son having custody of the prisoner shall not transfer custody to another unless such transfer is directed in accordance with the provisions of this rule. Upon application of a custodian showing a need therefor, the court, justice or judge rendering the decision may make an order authorizing transfer and providing for the substitution of the successor custodian as a party.

2. Pending review of a decision failing or refusing to release a prisoner in such a proceeding, the prisoner may be detained in the custody from which release is sought, or in other appropriate custody, or may be enlarged upon his recognizance, with or without surety, as may appear fitting to the court or justice or judge rendering the decision, or to the court of appeals or to this court, or to a judge or justice of either court.

3. Pending review of a decision ordering the release of a prisoner in such a proceeding, the prisoner shall be enlarged upon his recognizance, with or without surety, unless the court or justice or judge rendering the decision, or the court of appeals or this court, or a judge or justice of either court, shall otherwise order.

4. An initial order respecting the custody or enlargement of the prisoner, and any recognizance or surety taken, shall govern review in the court of appeals and in this court unless for special reasons shown to the court of appeals or to this court, or to a judge or justice of either court, the order shall be modified or an independent order respecting custody, enlargement or surety shall be made.

APPLICATIONS TO INDIVIDUAL JUSTICES; PRACTICE

IN CHAMBERS.

1. All motions and applications addressed to individual justices shall normally be submitted to the clerk, who will promptly transmit them to the justice concerned. If oral argument on the application is desired, request therefor shall accompany the application.

2. All motions and applications addressed to individual justices shall be accompanied by proof of service on all other parties. In urgent cases, proof of telegraphic dispatch to such parties of notice that the motion, application, or request is being made will suffice.

3. The clerk will in due course advise all counsel concerned, by means as speedy as may be appropriate, of the time and place of the hearing, if any, or, if no hearing is requested or granted, of the disposition made of the motion or application.

4. During the term, applications will be addressed to the justice duly allotted to the circuit within which the case arises. The court or the chief justice will seasonably instruct the clerk as to the distribution of applications during vacation, and whenever a circuit justice is temporarily absent or disabled.

5. A justice denying an application made to him will note his denial thereon. Thereafter, unless action on such application is by law restricted to the circuit justice, or is out of time under Rule 34 (3), the party making the application may renew the same to any other justice, subject to the provisions of this rule. Except where the denial has been without prejudice, such renewed applications are not favored.

6. Any justice to whom an application for a stay or for bail is submitted may refer the same to the court for determination.

51.

STAYS.

1. Stays may be granted by a justice of this court as permitted by law; and writs of injunction may be granted by any justice in cases where they might be granted by the court. For supersedeas on appeal, see Rule 18; for stay pending review on certiorari, see Rule 27.

2. All applications for stays or injunctions made pursuant to this or any other rule must show whether

application for the relief sought has first been made to the appropriate court or courts below, or to a judge or judges thereof, and shall be submitted as provided in Rule 50. See Rules 18 (2) and 27.

3. If an application for a stay addressed to the court is received in vacation, the clerk will refer it pursuant to Rule 50 (4).

52.
