The revised Rules of Appellate Procedure became effective on January 1, 2001. The revised Rules are applicable in their entirety to all appeals and other proceedings initiated on or after January 1, 2001. Appeals initiated prior to January 1, 2001, are governed by the former Rules of Appellate Procedure throughout the appeal except as follows:

• Revised Appellate Rule 25(C) provides generally for an automatic three-day extension of time to file responses to documents served by a party by mail, rather than five days under the old rules.
• Proceedings on petitions for rehearing, petitions to transfer, and petitions for review of a Tax Court decision are governed by the revised rules if the first petition is filed on or after January 1, 2001.

Contact the Clerk's office and ask for the filing date of the appellant's brief. Once you have the filing date you can determine when the appellee's brief is due. See App.R. 45. If the appellant's attorney has not provided you with the appellate cause number, the Clerk's office can provide it to you.

See App.R. 23, Filing, and App.R. 24, Service of Documents.

The Clerk's office is open 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on State holidays. After 5:00 p.m., filings may be left in the Rotunda Filing Drop Box, located inside the second floor east entrance to the State House. Filings that are in compliance with the Rules of Appellate Procedure will be file-stamped as of the date and time they are deposited in the Rotunda Filing Drop Box. Filings deposited on a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday will be file-stamped as of the date of the next business day.

See App.R. 25, Computation of Time.

Provided the document is in proper form, the document is deemed filed as of the date it is placed in the United States mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the Clerk of the Indiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Tax Court. The postmark on the envelope creates a rebuttable presumption that document was placed in the mail on the date indicated by the postmark.

The Appellate Rules do not provide for filing by fax.

See App.R. 25(C).
