The appellant's brief shall be filed by February 28, 2022, with no extensions except upon a showing of good cause. In the brief, citations to the record must provide the appendix page numbers as required by MCR 7.312(B)(1). The appellees shall file a supplemental brief within 21 days of being served with the appellant's brief. A reply, if any, must be filed by the appellant within 14 days of being served with the appellees' brief. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
The total time allowed for oral argument shall be 40 minutes: 20 minutes for the appellant, and 20 minutes for the appellees, to be divided at their discretion. MCR 7.314(B)(2).
