Conn. Practice Book § 66-1

(a) Motions to extend the time limit for filing an

appeal shall be filed with the clerk of the trial court.

Except as otherwise provided in these rules, the

judge who tried the case may extend the time limit

provided for filing the appeal, except that such

extension shall be of no effect if the time within

which the appeal must be filed is set by statute

and is a time limit that the legislature intended

as a limit on the subject matter jurisdiction of the

court in which the appeal is filed. The trial judge

shall not extend the time for filing the appeal more

than twenty days from the expiration date of the

appeal period. Where a motion for extension of

the period of time within which to appeal has been

filed at least ten days before expiration of the time

limit sought to be extended, the party seeking

to appeal shall have no less than ten days from

issuance of notice of denial of the motion to file

the appeal.

(b) Motions to extend the time limit for filing any

appellate document, other than the appeal or a

motion for review of a ruling concerning a stay of

execution pursuant to Section 61-14, shall be filed

with the appellate clerk. An extension of time may

be requested by filing form (JD-SC-043) or by

filing a motion not to exceed 2000 words, and in

compliance with the provisions of Section 66-3.

Requests to extend multiple deadlines cannot be

filed together on a single form or in a single motion.

If filing a motion, the motion shall include the fol -

lowing: (1) the reason for the requested extension,

(2) a statement as to whether the other parties

consent or object to the requested extension, (3)

a certification that complies with Section 62-7;

and, if an attorney is filing the motion on the client’s

behalf, (4) a statement that a copy of the motion

has been delivered to each of his or her clients

who are parties to the appeal. A motion for extension of time to file a brief must specify the current

status of the brief or preparations therefor, indicate the estimated date of completion, and, in

criminal cases, state whether the defendant is

incarcerated as a result of the proceeding in which

the appeal has been filed.

(c) The appellate clerk is authorized to grant or

to deny motions for extension of time.

(d) An opposing party who objects to a motion

for extension of time filed pursuant to subsection

(b) of this section shall file an objection with reasons in support thereof with the appellate clerk

within five days from the filing of the motion. Parties that are exempt from electronic filing pursuant

to Section 60-8 shall file the objection within ten

days from the filing of the motion.

(e) Any action by the trial judge pursuant to

subsection (a) of this section or the appellate clerk

pursuant to subsection (c) of this section is reviewable pursuant to Section 66-6.
