2. All motions and applications addressed to individual justices shall be accompanied by proof of service on all other parties. In urgent cases, proof of telegraphic dispatch to such parties of notice that the motion, application, or request is being made will suffice.

3. The clerk will in due course advise all counsel concerned, by means as speedy as may be appropriate, of the time and place of the hearing, if any, or, if no hearing is requested or granted, of the disposition made of the motion or application.

4. During the term, applications will be addressed to the justice duly allotted to the circuit within which the case arises. The court or the chief justice will seasonably instruct the clerk as to the distribution of applications during vacation, and whenever a circuit justice is temporarily absent or disabled.

5. A justice denying an application made to him will note his denial thereon. Thereafter, unless action on such application is by law restricted to the circuit justice, or is out of time under Rule 34 (3), the party making the application may renew the same to any other justice, subject to the provisions of this rule. Except where the denial has been without prejudice, such renewed applications are not favored.

6. Any justice to whom an application for a stay or for bail is submitted may refer the same to the court for determination.

51.

STAYS.

1. Stays may be granted by a justice of this court as permitted by law; and writs of injunction may be granted by any justice in cases where they might be granted by the court. For supersedeas on appeal, see Rule 18; for stay pending review on certiorari, see Rule 27.

2. All applications for stays or injunctions made pursuant to this or any other rule must show whether

application for the relief sought has first been made to the appropriate court or courts below, or to a judge or judges thereof, and shall be submitted as provided in Rule 50. See Rules 18 (2) and 27.

3. If an application for a stay addressed to the court is received in vacation, the clerk will refer it pursuant to Rule 50 (4).

PART IX. SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS.

53.

PROCEEDINGS IN FORMA PAUPERIS.

1. A party desiring to proceed in this court in forma pauperis shall file a motion for leave so to proceed, together with his affidavit setting forth facts showing that he comes within the statutory requirements. See 28 U. S. C. § 1915; Adkins v. DuPont Co., 335 U. S. 331. One copy of each will suffice. Papers in cases presented under this rule should, whenever possible, comply with Rule 47.

2. With the motion and affidavit there shall be filed the appropriate substantive document-statement as to jurisdiction, petition for writ of certiorari, or motion for leave to file, as the case may be-which shall comply in all respects with the rules governing the same, except that it shall be sufficient to file a single copy thereof.

3. When the papers required by paragraphs 1 and 2 of this rule are presented to the clerk, accompanied by proof of service as prescribed by Rule 33, he will, without payment of any docket or other fees, file them, and place the case on the docket.

4. The appellee or respondent in a case in forma pauperis may respond in the same manner and within the same time as in any other case of the same nature, except that the filing of a single response, typewritten or otherwise duplicated, with proof of service as required by Rule 33, will suffice whenever petitioner or appellant has filed unprinted papers.

5. While making due allowance for cases presented under this rule by persons appearing pro se, the clerk will refuse to receive any motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis when it and the papers submitted

therewith do not comply with the substance of this court's rules, or when it appears that the accompanying papers are obviously out of time.

6. If, in a case presented under this rule, the court enters an order noting or postponing probable jurisdiction, or granting a writ of certiorari, and the case is set down for argument, the court will make such order respecting the furnishing of a record and the printing of an appendix as may be appropriate. The court may, in any case presented under this rule, require the furnishing of the record prior to its consideration of the motion

papers.

7. Whenever the court appoints a member of the bar to serve as counsel for an indigent party, the briefs prepared by such counsel will, unless he requests otherwise, be printed under the supervision of the clerk; and the clerk will in any event reimburse such counsel for necessary travel expenses including first-class transportation from his home to Washington, D. C., and return in connection with the argument of the cause.

8. In any case arising on direct review of a judgment in a criminal case originating in a federal court where this court has granted certiorari or noted or postponed jurisdiction and where the defendant in the original proceeding is financially unable to obtain adequate representation or to meet the necessary expenses in this court, the court will appoint counsel who may be compensated, and whose necessary expenses may be repaid, to the extent provided by the Criminal Justice Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 552; 18 U. S. C. § 3006A).

54.

VETERANS' AND SEAMEN'S CASES.

1. A veteran suing to establish reemployment rights under the provisions of Section 9 (d) of the Universal

Military Training and Service Act, as amended (50 U. S. C. App. § 459 (d)), or under similar provisions of law exempting veterans from the payment of fees or court costs, may proceed upon typewritten papers as under Rule 53, except that the motion shall ask leave to proceed as a veteran, the affidavit shall set forth the moving party's status as a veteran, and the case will be placed on the docket.

2. A seaman suing pursuant to 28 U. S. C. § 1916 may proceed without prepayment of fees or costs or furnishing security therefor, but he is not relieved of printing costs nor entitled to proceed on typewritten papers except by separate motion, or unless, by motion and affidavit, he brings himself within Rule 53.

PART X. DISPOSITION OF CAUSES.

55.

OPINIONS OF THE COURT.

1. All opinions of the court shall be handed to the clerk immediately upon the delivery thereof. He shall cause the same to be printed and shall deliver a copy to the reporter of decisions.

2. The original opinions shall be filed by the clerk for preservation.

3. Opinions printed under the supervision of the justices delivering the same need not be copied by the clerk into a book of records; but at the end of each term he shall cause them to be bound in a substantial manner, and when so bound they shall be deemed to have been recorded.

56.
