La. Sup. Ct. R. IV, § 7
Extensions of Time
An extension of time within which to file a brief shall be granted at the discretion
of the Court and only in cases in which good cause is shown through written
motion filed with the Clerk of Court on or before the date the brief would
ordinarily be due under the appropriate rule. If an extension is granted on behalf of
appellant, an extension of time is automatically accorded for the filing of the brief
on behalf of appellee, and no action to obtain such an extension shall be necessary
on the part of the appellee or his counsel. An extension shall not be granted if the
hearing and determination of the case will be hindered.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
