Joseph Leslie McClory v. Scott Hobbs

The JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA (“JCC”) is the rule-making arm of the CALIFORNIA court system.1 In accordance with the California Constitution and under the leadership of the CHIEF JUSTICE of the SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA (“SCC”), the council is responsible for "ensuring the consistent, • - independent, impartial, and accessible administration of justice." It was created by an amendment to Article VI of the California Constitution in 1926 (2).2 Form APP003 APPELLANT'S NOTICE DESIGNATING RECORD ON APPEAL (UNLIMITED CIVIL CASE) was approved for use by JCC. The important Federal question presented is: If a rule-making arm of a state court system, including but not limited to the JCC, approves a form for use (regardless if optional or not) to designate the record on appeal, should the Appellant be penalized and/or forfeit important right(s), should that form end up being deficient and/or otherwise contain one or more omission(s)? 1 NASD Dispute Resolution, Inc. v.
