Motions on Appeal

Motions on appeal are formal requests made to a higher court during the appellate process. These motions can ask the court to take specific actions, such as extending deadlines, for a stay (pausing) enforcement of a lower court's decision, or seeking permission to file certain documents. The parties involved, usually the appellant (the one appealing) and the appellee (the one responding), present their arguments. The appellate court reviews these requests based on legal standards and responds accordingly, helping to determine how the appeal will proceed.
