Parties may stipulate to a 60-day extension in civil appeals pursuant to rule 8.212(b), Cal. Rules of Court.

All civil requests for extension must include the language as outlined in rule 8.212(b)(3), Cal. Rules of Court.

In a civil case, counsel must deliver to the client a copy of any stipulation or application to extend time that counsel files and attach evidence of such delivery to the stipulation or application, or certify in the stipulation or application that the copy has been delivered. (rule 8.60(f))
