Workers’ Comp Reply Extension Motion

I am managing my own workers’ compensation appeal and need a concise, properly formatted motion that asks the court for more time to file my reply brief. My request rests on one fact: I never received the respondent’s brief, and it certainly never arrived by mail. Because of that, I want the court to order that my reply deadline begin only after I am actually served with the respondent’s papers. Here is what the finished work must contain: • A motion (plus supporting declaration and proposed order) that clearly explains non-receipt of the brief, notes lack of service by mail, and requests that the reply-brief clock start upon receipt. • Correct caption, case-identification block, and signature lines for a workers’ compensation appeal, with space for me to insert names, dates, and case number. • A proof-of-service section that meets the court’s requirements. • Citations to the specific procedural rule governing extension of time in workers’ compensation appeals. • Delivery in both editable Word format and clean, court-ready PDF. If you have appellate or workers’ compensation experience and can deliver a motion that satisfies those points, I’m ready to move forward immediately.
