Rule 66-6. Motion for Review; In General

(a) The court may, on written motion for review stating the grounds for the relief sought, modify or vacate (1) any order made by the trial court under Section 66-1 (a); (2) any action by the appellate clerk under Section 66-1 (c); (3) any order made by the trial court, or by the administrative law judge in cases arising under General Statutes § 31-290a (b), relating to the perfecting of the record for an appeal or the procedure of prosecuting or defending against an appeal; (4) any order made by the trial court concerning a stay of execution in a case on appeal; (5) any order made by the trial court concerning the waiver of fees, costs and security under Section 63-6 or Section 63-7; or (6) any order concerning the withdrawal of appointed appellate counsel pursuant to Section 62-9 (d). Motions for review of the clerk's taxation of costs under judgments of the court having appellate jurisdiction shall be governed by Section 71-3.

(b) Motions for review shall be filed within ten days of notice of the order sought to be reviewed. If the order is issued in connection with a motion that was filed with the appellate clerk, the motion for review shall be filed within ten days from the issuance of notice by the appellate clerk of the order from the trial court sought to be reviewed. Otherwise, if notice of the order sought to be reviewed is given by the trial court in open court with the party seeking review present, the time for filing the motion for review shall begin on that day; if notice is given to the party seeking review only by mail or electronic delivery, the time for filing the motion for review shall begin on the day that notice was sent to counsel of record by the clerk of the trial court.

(c) If a motion for review of a decision depends on a transcript of evidence or proceedings taken by an official court reporter or court recording monitor, the moving party shall file with the motion either a transcript or a copy of the transcript order confirmation. The opposing party may, within one week after the transcript or the copy of the order confirmation is filed by the moving party, file either a transcript of additional evidence or a copy of the order confirmation for additional transcript.
