– Amendments to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure Rules 25 and 42 - Effective December 1, 2022, FRAP 25 and FRAP 42 are amended. FRAP 25 extends the privacy provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(c)(1) and (2) to the review of a benefits decision of the Railroad Retirement Board under the Railroad Retirement Act. FRAP 42 restores the requirement that the circuit clerk dismiss an appeal if all parties agree. It clarifies that the fees that must be paid are court fees, not attorney’s fees. The amendment does not alter the requirements that govern court approval of a settlement, payment or other consideration. The amendment also permits a local rule that requires an appellant in a criminal appeal to consent to the dismissal of the appeal. A complete set of amendments with redlines can be found
