Amendment to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 4: Subdivision (a)(4)(B)(iii).
This technical amendment restores the former subdivision (a)(4)(B)(iii) that was inadvertently deleted in 2009. On December 14, 2016, the Office of the Law Revision Counsel in the U.S. House of Representatives advised that Rule 4(a)(4)(B)(iii) had been deleted by a 2009 amendment to Rule 4. The deletion of this subdivision in 2009 was inadvertent. The OLRC deleted subdivision (iii) from its official document, but the document from which the rules are printed was not updated to show the deletion. As a result, Rule 4(A)(4)(B)(iii) was published with subdivision (iii) in place. This technical amendment restores subdivision (iii) to Rule 4(A)(4)(B).
