`
`United States Court of Appeals
`District of Columbia Circuit
`Washington, D.C. 20001-2866
`
`Mark J. Langer
`Clerk
`
`Dear Counsel:
`
`(202) 216-7300
`
`The court’s policy on the use of acronyms is stated in the Circuit’s Handbook of
`Practice and Procedures, § IX.A.8(d), and the public notice issued January 26, 2010,
`which is posted on the court’s web site. Parties are expected to limit the use of
`acronyms and to avoid using acronyms that are not widely known.
`
`Upon review of the brief(s) recently filed in this case, the Clerk’s Office has found
`that the text contains numerous acronyms and other abbreviations. Therefore, you are
`advised to reexamine the brief(s) to ensure conformity with the court’s policy. Within 7
`days of the docketing of this letter, you may submit a revised brief that eliminates any
`uncommon acronyms used in the previously filed brief. If a revised brief or briefs are
`not submitted, the merits panel assigned to this case will be informed that
`counsel failed to respond to this letter. The word limit governing the previously filed
`brief also applies to the revised brief. For any briefs yet to be filed, the current schedule
`remains in effect.
`
`Failure to comply with the court’s policy may result in an order directing the
`submission of a conforming brief. See, e.g., CSX Transp., Inc. v. Surface Transp.
`Board, No. 13-1230 (D.C. Cir. Mar. 25, 2014) (ordering briefs that eliminate uncommon
`acronyms used in previously filed final briefs, due Mar. 28, 2014); Illinois Public
`Telecomms. Ass’n v. FCC, No. 13-1059 (D.C. Cir. Mar. 25, 2014) (ordering briefs that
`eliminate uncommon acronyms used in previously filed final briefs, due Mar. 27, 2014).
`
`If you have any questions concerning this letter, please call Alison Grossman,
`Special Counsel to the Clerk, at (202) 216-7317.
`
`Sincerely,
`
`/s/
`Mark J. Langer, Clerk
