Step 3: File the Petition for Writ of Certiorari,
Statement of the Case, and Writ of Certiorari
“Filing” means submitting or delivering documents to the Office of the Clerk of the Appellate
Courts. Filing the Petition for Writ of Certiorari starts your appeal at the Court of Appeals.
Choose your method of filing (see instructions below).
General Instructions for “Filing”
Parties without an attorney may file documents by any of the following three methods:
(1) By hand-delivering them to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts during business hours
(8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays),
(2) By mailing the documents to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, addressed to:
Clerk of the Appellate Courts
305 Minnesota Judicial Center
25 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
St. Paul, MN 55155
For filing by postal mail, a document will be considered filed “on time” if it is
deposited in the U.S. Mail by the deadline with correct postage and the correct
address, even though the Clerk of the Appellate Courts will not receive the
document on the day you deposit it in the mail.
(3) By submitting them electronically through the appellate courts’ e-filing system, E-
MACS. Parties who do not have an attorney are not required to use E-MACS, but they
are allowed to do so. But, once you choose to file in E-MACS, you must continue
using it for filing. You may not go back to filing by hand-delivery or mail. (Note: All
attorneys are required to use E-MACS and cannot file documents by mail or by
hand-delivery to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts.)
For information about electronic filing and to submit documents electronically,
go to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts’ webpage
(
Appellate-Courts.aspx#tab05AppellateeFiling). Filing by facsimile (fax) is not allowed.
For additional instructions on filing, see
Minn. R. Civ. App. P.
125.01.
If you are filing your documents by hand-delivery or by mail, make four copies of each of
the following documents: (1) Petition for Writ of Certiorari, (2) Statement of the Case, (3)
Writ of Certiorari, and (4) Ruling on Request for Reconsideration from the ULJ.
Keep one copy of each document for your records and file one copy of each.
Revised 12/15/17
