CourtIndiana Supreme Court

George N. Craig, John K. Ruckelshaus, Donald N. Mosiman, Craig, Ruckelshaus, Reilly & O'Connor, Indianapolis, for appellant.

Wilson S. Daily, John H. Daily, Daily & Daily, and Clinton H. Givan, Indianapolis, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant's original brief fails to contain a copy of the assignment of errors or any specification thereof. Nor does it state the substance of any assignment so that it could be held there was a substantial compliance with the rules on appellate procedure.

These rules are based upon experience, and are designed to expedite the disposition of appeals, as well as lessen costs and expenses for the parties. The rules do not require the record on appeal be printed so that each Judge may have a copy. Appellant's original brief is required to be prepared in such manner that a printed copy of the record for each Judge will be unnecessary for him to be properly advised on each matter involved in the appeal. The rules in general do provide that appellant's original brief present his assertions of errors, and so much of the record as may be involved in the determination of the issues he presents on appeal. Each Judge is entitled to be so advised from this brief, and he is not required to examine the record for this information. Hauser v. Markwell, 1942, 111 Ind.App. 420, 422, 41 N.E.2d 652; Barker v. Central Bldg. & Loan Ass'n, 1932, 94 Ind.App. 661, 663, 182 N.E. 90; Chicago, I. & L. R. Co. v. Newkirk, 1911, 48 Ind.App. 349, 350, 93 N.E. 860; 2 Ind.Law Enc. Appeals § 383, p. 239.

'There shall be attached to the front of the transcript, immediately following the index, a specific assignment of the errors relied upon by the appellant * * *.' Rule 2-6. By virtue of the rule the assignment of errors becomes a part of the transcript and record on appeal.

'The brief of appellant shall contain short and clear statements disclosing:

'(a) * * *

'(b) * * *

'(c) * * *

'(d) A concise statement of so much of the record as fully presents every error and objection relied upon, referring to the pages and lines of the transcript. * * *

'(e) The brief shall contain under the heading 'Argument' a specification of such of the assigned errors as are intended to be urged, and each cause in the motion for a new trial which is intended to be urged. After each assignment of error relied upon--except the ruling on a motion for new trial, and after each cause for a new trial relied upon, there shall be consisely stated the basis of the objection to the ruling...
