Proposed Revisions Standing Order
Governing Petitions to the Single Justice
Pursuant to G.L.c. 231, § 118
The Appeals Court has proposed a revision to its existing "Standing Order Governing Petitions to the Single Justice Pursuant to G. L. c. 231, § 118 (first paragraph)." The proposal will expand the scope of the existing standing order to include motions filed pursuant to Mass.R.A.P. 6 to stay judgments and to stay the execution of a sentence. The revisions will also require petitioners to file certain documents that are essential to the single justice's screening of the petitions and motions, and also to file a copy of the petition or motion in the trial court.
The full text of the proposal is available here
The Appeals Court welcomes interested persons to submit comments on this proposal. Comments will be accepted until August 31, 2010. They should be addressed to Joseph F. Stanton, Clerk, Appeals Court , One Pemberton Square, Suite 1200 ,
