Appellant’s Opening Brief – California Appellate Courts
The new revised brief must be served again on all the parties and filed again with the Court of Appeal. If the problems with the brief have been corrected, the court will file the revised brief. If the problems have not been corrected and it’s an appellant’s opening brief, the court may dismiss the case.
 
 How can I check the deadline to file my brief? You can contact the clerk at your Court of Appeal if you have questions about the deadline to file your brief.
 
 What happens if I miss the deadline to file my opening brief? If the appellant’s opening brief is not filed by the deadline, the Court of Appeal will mail a notice that the brief must be filed within 15 days.
During the 15-day timeframe, the appellant may file an application for an extension of time. The court may grant an extension if they find there is a good reason.
If the appellant does not file an opening brief or request an extension to file within the 15-day timeframe, the appeal will be dismissed.
 
 What if I need more time/an extension to file my brief? If you need more time to file your brief, you can agree – or “stipulate” – with the other parties to extend the deadline up to a maximum of 60 days. An extension or stipulation must be filed in the Court of Appeal before the date the brief is due. Stipulations must be signed by all parties and served to all parties.
Note: The parties cannot stipulate to extend the time if the court has already granted an extension to file the brief.
If a party needs more time to file and has already stipulated to 60 days or if the parties are unable to agree to an extension, a motion or application for extension of time may be filed with the Court of Appeal. The court may or may not grant the extension for more time.

 What happens if a party files a cross-appeal? If one of the parties files a cross-appeal, then the briefing contents and briefing schedule are different.

This guide is a summary of the California Rules of Court for unlimited civil appeals and does not replace or supersede the California Rules of Court. All parties in an appeal are expected to follow the California Rules of Court, and the rules change over time. If the information on this website differs from the California Rules of Court, you must follow the California Rules of Court. Review the current rules here
It will help if you ask a lawyer with experience in appeals to review your case. Even if you represent yourself, a consultation with a lawyer can help you decide if you can or should file an appeal, or help you decide how best to argue against an appeal.

Appellant’s Opening Brief – California Appellate Courts
If there is more than one volume of the clerk’s transcript or reporter’s transcript, you’ll need to write the volume number, then CT or RT, and then the page number. For example: (1 CT 3), (2 RT 150).
If there is more than one augmented clerk’s transcript, also include the transcript by date. For example: (1/3/18 Aug CT 2).
 
 Can I include new information or new evidence in my brief? No. An appeal is not a new trial. You cannot introduce new information, new evidence, or new witnesses during the appeal process. The Court of Appeal will only consider what’s included in the record on appeal.
 
 Can I include confidential information in a brief? No. Briefs are generally filed publicly, and publicly filed documents must not disclose confidential or sealed material.
If you need to refer to confidential or sealed material, please carefully review the procedure described here in CRC 8.46(f) and CRC 8.47.
 
 Can I include attachments or exhibits with a brief? Attachments should only be included with a brief if they are absolutely necessary. Improper attachments can cause a brief not to be filed, or to be rejected and returned for corrections.
Copies of exhibits or other materials may only be attached if they are already in the existing record on appeal, or in relevant local, state, or federal rules or regulations. The attachments must not be more than a combined total of 10 pages, unless the court grants you permission to break this rule.
If you need to file more than 10 pages of attachments, you can ask the Court of Appeal for permission. You may file a “Request to Attach Additional Exhibits” with the Court of Appeal and serve a copy of the application to all other parties in the case. There is no court form so you type the request on a piece of paper. You must provide what the court calls “good cause” – which means a good reason – to attach additional exhibits.
The court may or may not say yes to your request.
Instead of including a lot of attachments, it may be easier to simply make a reference in your brief to any legal authorities, or to exhibits already in the record on appeal.
Traffic | Superior Court of California | County of Tulare
Contesting a Judicial Decision
An appeal can be filed within 30 days only after being found guilty in a court trial. New evidence is not accepted on appeal. The appellate court's decision deals with the evidence offered and decisions made at the time of trial.
For more information, visit the Appeals page.
Extensions
The clerk's office may give an extension of 60 days to post bail. You can do this in any of the following manners:
Telephone
In person at any of the court locations
On the court's web site (you must have your case or citation number along with date of birth)
Request an Extension

To request an extension beyond 60 days, you must appear in person and request a continuance from the judicial officer in open court.
Mandatory Appearance
If your case requires a mandatory appearance, you cannot pay your fine without first appearing in court for arraignment. You can appear on or before your appearance date at any of the listed court locations. (Click here for court locations.) Your courtesy notice will indicate MANDATORY court appearance.
The following infractions are examples of charges requiring a mandatory appearance.
22348(b) VC: Speed greater than 100 mph
23140(a) VC: Person under 21 years old driving with a blood alcohol content of .05 or more
Proof of Corrections
Obtaining Proof of Correction:
If there are mechanical, registration, license, or insurance violations (VC 16028(a) only), the bail amount will be reduced if you provide proof of correction on or before the due date. If you do not provide proof of correction, you will be required to pay the full bail forfeiture amount or contest the citation. See the page "Contesting a Citation" for information. Proof received after the fine is paid will not be eligible for further reductions.
The inspecting officer will sign off the violation you were cited for on the back of the citation or on the courtesy notice. The sign off must be for a correction-eligible violation, and it must include the violation you were cited for and the officer's name, agency, and badge number.
Proof of correction may be obtained in the following ways:
Additional Filings – California Appellate Courts
If a justice has a relationship with any of the interested entities or persons – for example, if the justice owns a certain amount of stock in a company involved in the appeal – then the justice cannot participate in the case.
Where do I get this form? The Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons form APP-008 is available at the court or online.
Where do I file this form? The Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons form is filed with the Court of Appeal.
What’s the deadline? There is no exact date. Instead, there are two times in the appeal process when the Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons must be filed:

With any motion or application. Both the appellant and respondent are required to file a form APP-008 the first time they file a motion, an application, or an opposition to a motion with the Court of Appeal.

With a brief. Both parties are required to include a copy of form APP-008 when they file their brief with the Court of Appeal. This form is always the next page after the cover page. That means it’s the second page of the appellant’s opening brief and the respondent’s brief. This form must be included in the brief even if it was already filed with a motion.

Note: Form APP-008 must be served on all the other parties in the case BEFORE it can be filed with the Court of Appeal.
What is an interested entity or person? This can be an individual person or an organization, business, firm, or partnership that has a financial or other interest in what happens in the case.
If the party completing the form is an organization, business, firm, or partnership, interested entities or persons include any other organization, business, firm, partnership, or person that has more than a 10% ownership in that party.
This includes partners or spouses who own more than a 10% interest in a business, but who are not listed in the lawsuit. The partner or spouse must be listed on form APP-008 and the business must also be listed on the form.
Here are examples of well-known businesses that are owned by other businesses (as of 2019):

Bank of America – Merrill Lynch

A person who files a cross-appeal becomes both a respondent and an appellant to the case.
