Additional Filings – California Appellate Courts
If you file a fee waiver form when you file your request for documents from the record, you will not have to pay any fees until the court makes a decision about your fee waiver application.

 For respondent’s appeal fees in the Court of Appeal:

If you want to request that the Court of Appeal waive your $390 filing fee, you must file a Request to Waive Court Fees form FW-001 in the Court of Appeal.
You will give the Court of Appeal a fee waiver form when you file your first document in the court. This could be a motion or a brief.
If you file a fee waiver form with your first filing, you will not have to pay any fees until the court makes a decision about your fee waiver application.

Note: Form FW-001 is not served to other parties. It is only filed with the court.
 

MOTIONS & OTHER FILINGS
During an appeal, many parties file motions and other documents in addition to the required forms.
These additional filings are ways for you to give the court more information, to make a request of the court, to tell the court there is a problem, or to ask the court for permission to do something.
Here are important things you need to know about motions and other filings in an appeal (choose a question to learn more):

 Who can file motions and other documents with the court? After the appellant files a notice of appeal, any party in the appeal can file can file documents with the court document with the court.
 
 When can I file motions and other documents with the court? While most required court forms have specific deadlines, there are generally no exact dates that you must file motions and other documents. Any party can file motions and other documents with the court at any time during the appeal before the conclusion of oral arguments. This is when the case is submitted for the Court of Appeal’s decision.
 
 Is there a form for motions and other filings? There is never a form for motions. Some other filings have forms and some do not. If there is not a form, a party must create a document.
 
 How do I prepare a motion or other filing?

Reply Brief – California Appellate Courts
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.
Before including attachments you should carefully review CRC rule 8.204(d).
 
 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 if I need more time/an extension to file my reply brief? If you need more time to file your appellant’s reply 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 should 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 an appellant 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.
If an appellant misses the deadline to file a reply brief and did not file a stipulation or extension application before the deadline, he or she can still file a request with the Court of Appeal for permission to file a late brief. In this situation the court may or may not allow the appellant to file a late brief.

 Who needs to receive a copy of my reply brief? How do I serve my brief to other parties or courts? Always check with your court to confirm the specific filing and service requirements in your case. Not all courts allow electronic filing.
Serving a document means delivering a copy of the document to another party, or delivering a copy to a different court than the one where you are filing the document.

been granted a waiver of court fees and costs, you must still pay the Reporter's 
 Transcript costs or motion the court for a free copy of the transcript. Pursuant to
 Government Code section 70632/California Rule of Court 8.130(b)(1): the Court will
 charge a $50.00 fee to cover trial court costs associated with administering a trust
 account for payment of a reporter's transcript in a civil appeal.

 	To request a reporter's written estimate, contact the Court Reporter's Office at 
 916-874-5781 prior to filing the designation.

 A Reporter's Transcript is not available in all 
 cases. A transcript of testimony can be established by a settled statement or, 
 in civil cases only, an agreed statement.

Briefs

 A brief is a party's written description of the 
 facts in the case, the relevant law, and the party's argument. The brief must 
 clearly explain, using references to the Clerk's and Reporter's Transcripts, the 
 claimed legal errors in the trial court proceedings. Each brief must contain a 
 table of contents and a table of authorities. There is also a limit on brief 
 length. The preparation and filing of briefs is governed by the California Rules 
 of Court and 
 the Sacramento Superior Court Local Rules, Chapter 11.

 After the record is filed in the appellate court, 
 you will receive a notice telling you when to file your brief. Read the notice 
 carefully for directions on length and service. The appellant's failure to file 
 an opening brief may result in dismissal of the appeal.

Hearings

 When the record is filed in the appellate court, 
 you will receive notice of the time for oral argument. This hearing will be set 
 far enough in advance to allow time to get all briefs filed. Sacramento Superior 
 Court's Appellate Division holds oral arguments on the 3rd Friday of the month 
 in the Presiding Appellate Judge's courtroom. The proceedings are open to the 
 public.

 You may appear at oral argument or give up your 
 right to argue your case at a hearing. If you give up the right, you

At the same time, section 17 of Article VI of the Constitution would set the annual salary of the Justices of the District Courts of Appeal at $7,000. The Constitutional amendments were submitted to the voters and adopted November 8, 1904.
Membership and Qualifications
The rules governing the selection of Supreme Court justices apply to those serving on the Courts of Appeal. Justices are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments. 
Original, Appellate Jurisdiction
Courts of Appeal have appellate jurisdiction when superior courts have original jurisdiction, and in certain other cases prescribed by statute. Like the Supreme Court, they have original jurisdiction in habeas corpus, mandamus, certiorari, and prohibition proceedings (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 10).
Cases are decided by three-judge panels. Decisions of the panels, known as opinions, are published in the California Appellate Reports if those opinions meet certain criteria for publication. In general, the opinion is published if it establishes a new rule of law, involves a legal issue of continuing public interest, criticizes existing law, or makes a significant contribution to legal literature (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 14; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.1105(c)).

Petition for Review – California Appellate Courts
Holidays and weekend days when the court is closed are included in the 10 days.
The Supreme Court is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except court holidays. Check the Supreme Court calendar
The petition for review must be served to all parties in the case, the trial court, and the Court of Appeal BEFORE it is filed in the California Supreme Court.
The deadline to file a petition for review is strict and there are no extensions.
In rare cases, the Chief Justice may permit a party to file a petition for review after the deadline. This only happens if a party has good cause and if it is within the time the Supreme Court can order a review of the Court of Appeal’s decision.
Note: A party is permitted to file a petition for review after the Court of Appeal issues an opinion but before the decision becomes final (30 days later). When this happens, the clerk of the California Supreme Court will accept and hold the petition for review, and file the petition for review the day after the Court of Appeal decision becomes final.
Cost of a Petition for Review
There is a $710 court cost to file a petition for review in civil cases.
Reasons Why a Party Can Petition for Review
Petition for review is a way for a party who lost the appeal to challenge the Court of Appeal’s decision.
Any Court of Appeal decision can be challenged with a petition for review. However, review in the California Supreme Court is extremely rare. A party should only petition for review if they believe their case will:

settle an important question of law or
make sure decisions in California courts are consistent or equal – the courts describe this as “uniform” decisions

A party may file a petition for review without filing a petition for rehearing. However, when this happens, the California Supreme Court will accept the Court of Appeal’s statement of the issues and facts as correct. That means a party will not be able to challenge an issue in the California Supreme Court if they did not first raise it in a petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeal.
Also, the California Supreme Court normally will not consider any issues that the party who is petitioning for review did not raise in the Court of Appeal.

Petition for Review – California Appellate Courts
Basically it has three required parts:

A white cover page that includes general information about the parties (like contact information) and the appeal (like the case number)
Learn what information to include on the cover
A document that includes an explanation of the issues to consider and why the court should hear the case
Attachments required by the court

Formatting rules:

The petition for review must follow the same formatting rules as briefs.
Review the formatting rules for paper filings

Check with the California Supreme Court for up-to-date electronic formatting rules.
Rules about length:

If written on a computer, the petition must be 8,400 words or less.
If written on a typewriter, the petition must be 30 pages or less.
The cover, signature block, required attachments, and some tables are not included in the word count or page limit.
If a party wants to file a longer petition, they must file an application with the Court of Appeal and provide good cause – which means a good reason. The presiding justice may or may not say yes to the request.

 
 What to include in the petition for review document The most important part of a petition for review is the document written by the petitioner.

Begin with a short statement about the issues in the case for the Supreme Court to consider.
State your argument. The court instructions ask for a “concise, nonargumentative statement of the issues presented for review, framing them in terms of the facts of the case but without too much detail.”
Explain why the issues are so important that the California Supreme Court should agree to review the case. Refer to these “grounds for review” under California rule of court 8.500
You cannot ask the court to refer to your brief or other documents in the record on appeal. However, you can ask the court to refer to another petition for review in your case. You can also ask the court to refer to another a petition for review in a different case, on the same issue, that the court has agreed to review.
Say if a petition for rehearing was filed in the Court of Appeal and, if so, how the Court of Appeal ruled.
