SCIRICA CHAIRS OF ADVISORY COMMITTEES CHAIR WILL L. GARWOOD PETER G. McCABE APPELLATE RULES SECRETARY A. THOMAS SMALL BANKRUPTCY RULES DAVID F. LEVI CIVILRULES W. EUGENE DAVIS CRIMINAL RULES MILTON I. SHADUR EVIDENCE RULES To: Honorable Anthony J. Scirica, Chair, Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure From: David F. Levi, Chair, Advisory Committee on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Date: May 14,2001 Re: Report of the Civil Rules Advisory Committee Introduction The Civil Rules Advisory Committee met on March 12, 2001, and April 23 and 24, 2001, at the Administrative Office of the United States Courts in Washington, D.C. It voted to recommend adoption of a new rule and rules amendments that were published for comment in August 2000 and January 2001, with modifications in response to the public comments. Part I of this report details these recommendations in four parts. The first relates to new Civil Rule 7.1, governing corporate disclosure; this proposal parallels published proposals to amend Appellate Rule 26.1 and to adopt a new Criminal Rule 12.4, and may be affected by the proposal to publish a Bankruptcy Rule that would depart from these other proposals in significant ways. The second relates to amendments of Civil Rule 58 aimed at the separate document requirement, including a conforming amendment of Civil Rule 54; these proposals are integrated with proposals to amend Appellate Rule 4(a)(7), and indeed began with the Appellate Rules Committee. The third relates to Civil Rule 81, which would be amended to integrate better with the separate rules governing § 2254 and § 2255 proceedings; it began in conjunction with review of those rules, but can be separated from them as the Criminal Rules Committee continues its work on them. The fourth and final part is a set of technical amendments to conform forfeiture provisions of the Supplemental Admiralty Rules to legislative changes that occurred too late to be recognized in the Admiralty Rules amendments that took effect on December 1, 2000. Part II describes Advisory Committee recommendations to publish for comment three sets of rules amendments. Each involves a project that has been long on the Advisory Committee
