ORDER

Considering that this Court has observed a growing practice of attaching documents, affidavits, exhibits and portions of the transcript, all of which are either part of the record on appeal or in some cases were never introduced in the trial court, to briefs filed in this Court, and on further considering that if these attachments were not introduced in the trial court they cannot be considered by this Court, and on further considering that attachments to briefs beyond these attachments required by Rules 2-12.4 and 2-12.5, Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal, add to the size and volume of filings in this Court and take up valuable file space in both the clerk of court’s office and in judges’ chambers,

IT IS ORDERED that effective this date, appellate briefs filed in this Court shall have attached thereto only "[a] copy of the judgment, order, or ruling complained of, and a copy of either the trial court’s written reasons for judgment, transcribed oral reasons for judgment, or minute entry of the reasons, if given, "unless for good cause shown on written motion permission is granted by the Court.
