When is the appellees brief due?
Usually the appellee’s brief is due: • 30 days after the appellant’s opening brief was filed if you were served by personal delivery, or • 33 days if appellant’s opening brief was mailed. If there is a different schedule for the appellee’s brief because the appellant’s brief was rejected, the case manager will send a notice. If your case is expedited under Appellate Rule 218 or another rule, there may be a different timeline. Remember to serve the other side (or their attorney) by the same date that you are required to file the brief.
