This notice was posted on Tuesday, May 7, 2019.

Notice is hereby given of the following four typographical corrections to errors in the Appeals Court standing orders approved on March 27, 2019. The standing orders are amended as follows:

1. Standing Order Concerning Electronic Filing, Part E.2. Add the word "required." 

"Prior to e-filing, the filer shall mark any impounded document as impounded on the cover or first page of the document, as required by E-Filing Rule 11, Mass. R. App. P. 16(m) and 18(d)."

2. Standing Order Concerning Electronic Filing, Part I.2. Strike uppercase "P" and replace with lowercase "p."

"A party is not required to file or serve a copy in the Appeals Court of any application, response, or opposition that is filed in the Supreme Judicial Court pursuant to Mass. R. App. P. 11 and 27.1."

3. Standing Order Concerning Motions to Stay a Judgment or Execution of Sentence Pursuant to Mass. R.A.P. 6, Title. Restore title to the text below by striking "Concerning" and replacing with "Governing" and also adding the word "filed" so the title is as follows:

"Standing Order Governing Motions to Stay a Judgment or Execution of Sentence Filed Pursuant to Mass. R.A.P. 6"

4. Standing Order Governing Motions to Stay a Judgment or Execution of Sentence Filed Pursuant to Mass. R.A.P. 6, Part (f). Strike the word "rifle" and replace with "rule." 

"In any case in which the trial court entered an order impounding, sealing, or excluding from public access all or any portion of the trial court records, or there is material or information in a party's motion, addendum, memorandum, or any appendix that is automatically impounded or deemed confidential by statute or court rule, the parties shall comply with Mass. R.A.P. 16(d), 16(m), and 18(d)."
