RULE 9.225. NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY
A party may file notices of supplemental authority with the
court before a decision has been rendered to call attention to
decisions, rules, statutes, or other authorities that are significant to
the issues raised and that have been discovered after service of the
party’s last brief in the cause. The notice shall not contain
argument, but may identify briefly the issues argued on appeal to
which the supplemental authorities are pertinent if the notice is
substantially in the form prescribed by rule 9.900(j). Copies of the
supplemental authorities shall be attached to the notice.
