Miss. R. Crim. P. 34.3
Comment
This inherent power of the court is specifically included for purposes of clarity, and to allow its exercise informally. Rule 34.3 should be used primarily to allow handwritten documents to be submitted by indigent defendants or persons without counsel; it should not be used to sanction deviations which affect an opposing party's substantial rights.
