Occasionally , an amicus supports neither party ; in such instances , the amendment provides that the amicus brief must be filed no later than 7 days after the appellant 's or petitioner 's principal brief is filed . While subdivision ( a ) requires that 10 copies of the appendix be filed , unless the court requires a lesser number , subdivision ( e ) permits exhibits necessary for the determination of an appeal to be bound separately , and requires only 4 copies of such a separate volume or volumes to be filed and a single copy to be served on counsel .
