mailing shall be shown only by an official United States postmark or by official receipt or
certificate from the United States Postal Service, or bona fide commercial mail services such
as Federal Express or United Parcel Service, made at the time of mailing which indicates the
date thereof. Any other date stamp, such as a private commercial mail meter stamp, or label
from an Automated Postal Center, shall not be used to establish timeliness.
Briefs forwarded by private delivery or courier service shall be deemed timely filed only if
received by the clerk on or before the last day ofthe delay for filing.
