(3) The excerpt of record must not contain memoranda of law filed in the trial court unless such memoranda are pertinent to a disputed or likely to be disputed issue of preservation.(4) A respondent may file, as part of the respondent's brief, a supplemental excerpt of record containing those materials required by subsection (2) of this rule that were omitted from the excerpt of record.(5) The excerpt of record and any supplemental excerpt of record must be in the following form: (a) All documents or parts of documents must be copies of documents included in the record, rather than summarized or paraphrased. Omissions, if not apparent, must be noted. No matter may be omitted if to do so would change the meaning of the matter included.(b) Contents must be set forth in chronological order, except that the OECI case register must be the last document in the excerpt of record. The excerpt must be consecutively paginated, with the first page being page ER-1. The excerpt must begin with an index organized chronologically, describing each item and identifying where the item may be found in the trial court or agency record, and the page where the item may be found in the excerpt. The index may include bookmarks as described in ORAP 16.50. A supplemental excerpt of record must substantially conform to the same requirements, except that a supplemental excerpt must be paginated using "SER," e.g., SER-1, SER-2, SER-3.(c) The materials included must be reproduced on 8-1/2 x 11 inch white paper by any duplicating or copying process that produces a clear, black, legible image.(d) The excerpt of record must comply with the applicable requirements of ORAP 5.05.(6) Self-represented parties are not required to file an excerpt of record or a supplemental excerpt of record. If a self-represented party files an excerpt of record or a supplemental excerpt of record, it must contain only those documents specified in ORAP 5.50(2)(a) and (b), must contain no other documents, and must otherwise comply with this rule. (7) The appellate court may strike any excerpt of record or supplemental excerpt of record that does not substantially comply with the requirements of this rule.Amended November 21, 2016, effective 1/1/2017; amended 11/2/2017; amended November 18, 2022, effective 11/18/2022; amended January 17, 2024, effective 1/17/2024.
