Rule 12-212 NMRA
Rule 12-212. Exhibits and depositions; general calendar cases.
A. Depositions and documentary exhibits. A designation of depositions and
exhibits that are documents, maps, charts, photographs, recordings, videotapes or the
like, shall be filed by the appellant within fifteen (15) days after service of the general
calendar assignment. If the appellant does not intend to designate any such depositions
or exhibits for inclusion in the record on appeal, the appellant shall, within fifteen (15)
days after service of the general calendar assignment, file in the appellate court and
serve on the other parties to the appeal a notice that no depositions or exhibits will be
designated. Within fifteen (15) days of service of appellant's designation or notice of
non-designation, appellee may designate further depositions and documentary exhibits.
The designations shall be filed with the district court clerk and served on the appellate
court and the other parties to the appeal. The district court clerk shall send to the
appellate court all the designated depositions and documentary exhibits with the
transcript of proceedings.
B. Non-documentary exhibits. The appellate court may designate non-
documentary exhibits upon the request of either party made on or before the time for
filing designations of documentary exhibits. The request shall be filed in the appellate
court and shall concisely set forth the reason why each exhibit is necessary for the
appeal. The appellate court shall determine which exhibits shall be included and shall
notify the parties and the district court clerk. At the time the transcript of proceedings is
sent to the appellate court, the district court clerk shall also send all non-documentary
exhibits designated by the appellate court.
C. Supplemental exhibits. The appellate court may, upon its own motion or upon
motion of any party and for good cause shown, order or allow additional exhibits to be
forwarded to the appellate court.
D. Return of exhibits. After final determination of the appeal, the appellate court
clerk shall cause the exhibits to be returned to the district court.
