2-6. What is the Civil Case Information Statement (CCIS)?
A. If you are an appellant or a cross-appellant in a civil appeal, the clerk's office will mail you a notice, confirming receipt of the notice of appeal, along with a blank Civil Case Information Statement (CCIS). Your answers help the court to know whether the notice on appeal is on time and whether the judgment or order is appealable, among other things. (Rule 8.100(f).)
B. You must promptly fill out and return the CCIS to the clerk's office. Include a copy of the judgment or order from which you are bringing the appeal. Attach also a proof of service on all parties to the appeal. (Rule 8.100(f).)
- The court will send you a notice of default if the clerk's office does not receive your completed CCIS within 10 days after the date of mailing. You must cure the default within 15 days (generally by correctly filing the CCIS), or your appeal will be dismissed.

C. If you are only a respondent on a civil appeal and do not have a cross-appeal, you do not need to fill out a CCIS.
