An Arizona Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief is a legal document filed in court to ask for an extension of time to file a brief. This motion is generally requested when a party needs additional time to prepare the brief due to unforeseen circumstances. There are two types of Arizona Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief: an ex parte motion and a noticed motion. An ex parte motion is filed without notice to the other parties and is generally granted if the court finds that the request is reasonable and there is no prejudice to the other parties. A noticed motion is filed with notice to the other parties, and the court will consider the merits of the request as well as any objections raised by the other parties. Both types of motions must include the reasons why the extension is requested, the length of extension requested, and the proposed briefing schedule.
