Notes on Procedures in Certain Cases Involving Juveniles:
Rule 3.1 provides accelerated deadlines and additional requirements in appeals filed under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 7B-1001. See N.C. R. App. P. 3.1(d). Juvenile delinquency appeals are more similar to criminal appeals. See A Typical Printed Record on Appeal in a Criminal Case, supra. Rule 42 requires parties to protect the identity of the juveniles involved in appeals covered by Rule 3.1. These rules require that the juvenile's identity be referenced only by the use of initials or pseudonyms in briefs, motions, and petitions. If the parties choose to use a pseudonym, they must include a stipulation in the record on appeal identifying which pseudonym corresponds to which juvenile. N.C. R. App. P. 42(b). In such cases, a special notice must be provided at the top of the first page of any document filed with the appellate court:UNDER SEAL AND SUBJECT TO PUBLIC INSPECTION ONLY BY ORDER OF A COURT OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION.
o If the document is included within another document, this notice must also be displayed at the top of the first page of that other document.
o Non-documentary items filed with the appellate courts must be submitted in an envelope or box that contains the same notice.
o This special notice helps the clerk identify which documents should not be published on the appellate court's electronic filing site.
