need to file and serve paper copies of your brief. See

Note: Briefs are the only document type that requires additional service of paper

Do not mail paper copies of any other e-filed documents to the court or to the other
parties involved in the appeal.

General Information about “Motions”
If you cannot serve and file your brief within 30 days and you need more time, or if you
want to make any other request of the court, you must serve and file a signed, written request
asking the court for the relief you need. This formal request is called a “motion.”
The motion must state (1) what you are requesting and (2) the reason(s) for that request. You
must serve the written motion on the respondents and file proof of service for the motion.
The requirements for a motion are found in
Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 127
and specific
instructions for requesting a briefing extension are found in
Minn. R. Civ. App. P.
131.02.
If you are requesting a deadline extension, your motion should be served and filed before
the deadline you wish to extend.
Reminder: the Court of Appeals cannot extend the deadline to serve and file the
Petition for Writ of Certiorari.
