6. What is the procedure for augmenting the recording in a civil case?

A motion to augment the record may be filed at any time after the filing of the record in the Court of Appeal and may occur as a result of a litigant’s motion or by stipulation of the parties. The basic filing requirements are the same as for an augmentation in a criminal case: 1) An original and 3 copies must be offered; (2) a proof of service on all other litigants [including the Office of the Attorney General, for criminal cases] must be included, and (3) the moving party must be a party to the proceeding. If the motion is granted, the last paragraph of the court’s order will state the due date for the brief (usually 30 days).

Before ruling in a civil case, the court allows 15 days for possible opposition. An augmentation request does not automatically extend the time to file the brief. If more time is required, it will be necessary to submit an extension request.
