The following questions are to be answered by the attorney or pro se litigant requesting permission to file an emergent motion. This questionnaire is designed to assist the court's determination respecting its further instructions. COMPLETION OF THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT IN ANY SENSE CONSTITUTE THE FILING OF AN APPEAL OR MOTION. There is no right to be heard orally on an emergency application. Further instructions will come from the court. Except by permission of the court, the only documents you may submit with this application are: a copy of the decision being appealed, any opinion or statement of reasons given by the trial judge or agency, and any order or decision denying or granting a stay. A copy of this application must be served simultaneously on both your adversary and the trial judge or agency. No answer shall be filed without permission of the court. If the court grants you permission to file an emergent motion and you have not previously filed a motion for leave to appeal or notice of appeal (whichever is applicable), you must simultaneously file one. You must also pay the applicable filing fee ($30 for a motion for leave to appeal; $200 for a notice of appeal), direct the charging of an account with the Superior Court, or file a motion to proceed as an indigent and supporting certification.
