Rule 7.25 - MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME(1) Only the appellate court may grant an extension of time for the performance of any act pertaining to an appeal.(2) A motion for an extension of time shall contain: (a) The date the notice of appeal was filed (or in the case of a petition for review, the date of the decision of the Court of Appeals for which review is being sought);(b) The date the brief or other action is due;(c) The date to which the extension is requested;(d) Whether it is the first or other request;(e) The specific circumstances which caused the act not to be completed in the allotted time; and(f) In a criminal case, whether the defendant is incarcerated.(3) An objection to a motion for extension of time shall articulate specific grounds for the objection and shall identify how an extension of time will prejudice the objector's interest. An attorney may object on the ground that the client has instructed counsel to object to any extension, but that alone will not be a sufficient ground to deny or reduce any extension of time.(4) An objection to a request for an extension of time may be filed by facsimile transmission, provided that the objection does not exceed five pages. Filing shall be deemed complete when the entirety of the objection being transmitted has been received by the Administrator. The facsimile transmission shall have the same force and effect as filing of the original.(5) A motion for an extension of time generally will be decided within a few days after it is filed. An objection to a motion for an extension of time filed after the court has granted the extension will be treated as a motion for reconsideration of the ruling. On reconsideration, if the court modifies the extension of time, the parties to the appeal will be notified; otherwise, the objection will be noted and placed in the appellate file.(6) Requests for extensions of time for preparation of transcripts shall be made in accordance with ORAP 3.30.Amended November 21, 2016, effective 1/1/2017; amended November 15, 2018, effective 1/1/2019; amended December 6, 2023, effective 12/11/2023.
