Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 132.04

Adopted effective 7/1/2016.
Advisory Committee Comment-2016 Amendments
Rule 132.02 is amended in two ways to make it clearer. Provisions for signing documents are removed from Rule 132.02, subdivision 2, which deals with the caption of appellate pleadings, not signing. Rule 132.04 is a new rule that explicitly sets forth what is necessary for signing appellate documents and extends those requirements to all appellate pleadings.
