IV § 7 Extensions of Time
Part A: Practice and Procedure | Rule IV: Briefs
Rule Text
An extension of time within which to file a brief shall be granted at the discretion of the Court and only in cases in which good cause is shown through written motion filed with the Clerk of Court on or before the date the brief would ordinarily be due under the appropriate rule. If an extension is granted on behalf of appellant, an extension of time is automatically accorded for the filing of the brief on behalf of appellee, and no action to obtain such an extension shall be necessary on the part of the appellee or his counsel. An extension shall not be granted if the hearing and determination of the case will be hindered.
