Rule 7.06 Rehearing or Modification in Supreme Court

If you disagree with a decision made by the Kansas Supreme Court, you can ask the court to reconsider it or change part of it. This request is called a motion for rehearing or modification. You must file it within 21 days after the court's decision comes out, and you need to attach a copy of the court's opinion to your request.

Filing this motion puts the case on hold. Specifically, it stops the court from issuing its final mandate (the official order that puts the decision into effect) until the court decides whether to grant your request.

If the court agrees to rehear the case, the original decision is put on hold. It won't take effect until the court makes a new decision after the rehearing.
