This government document is issued by Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals for use in Colorado
If appellant is represented by court-appointed counsel, or is represented by retained counsel, but a co-defendant who appeals is represented by court-appointed counsel, appellant’s counsel must designate the record on appeal by completing and filing this form with the clerk of the district court within 14 days after filing the notice of appeal. Copies must be served on all parties to the appeal and a copy must be filed with the clerk of the court of appeals. Within 14 days after service of appellant’s designation, appellee may file and serve an additional designation. Copies of the district court docket sheets must be attached to every copy of the designation filed or served.
Although nonessential parts of the district court record should not be designated for inclusion in the record on appeal, it is counsel’s responsibility to see that the record on appeal is sufficient for consideration and determination of the issues on appeal, and the court is under no obligation to remedy any failure of counsel to fulfill that responsibility.
