Upon consideration Of the RESPONSE TO RULE TO SHOW CAUSE filed by the appellant on 3/22/05,

The file must be a text based PDF (portable document format), which contains the entire brief from cover to conclusion. Graphic based scanned PDF images do not comply with this rule and will not be accepted by the clerk.
