Ill. S. Ct. R. 326
Time for Filing Record on Appeal
Except as provided in Rules 306, 307, 308 and 335, the record on appeal shall be filed in the
reviewing court within 63 days after the filing of the notice of appeal, or the last notice of appeal
if more than one appeal is taken, or, if the time for filing a report of proceedings has been extended,
within 14 days after the expiration of the extended time. Extensions of time for filing the record
may be granted by the reviewing court or a judge thereof on motion made before the expiration of
the original or extended time or on motion filed within 35 days thereafter supported by a showing
of reasonable excuse for failure to file the motion earlier. The movant shall serve any motion for
extension of time on the clerk preparing the record on appeal.
History
Amended October 21, 1969, effective January 1, 1970; amended December 17, 1993, effective February 1, 1994; amended June 22, 2017, eff. July 1, 2017. Committee Comments (Revised October 1969) This rule is based on former Rules 36(2)(d) and (e). Provision is made for the certificate procedure. Time periods are in multiples of seven. The 35-day “safety-valve” provision is similar to the one applicable to the report of proceedings in Rule 323(e). The insertion in 1969 of the words “or the last notice of appeal if more than one appeal is taken” in the first sentence is based upon Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 11(a). The 1969 amendment to the rule also requires the delivery of the record to the reviewing court at the time the reply brief is due rather than 14 days thereafter, as formerly.
