How do I file a motion for reconsideration with an appellate court?

Filing a motion for reconsideration with an appellate court in Mississippi is a multi-step process. First, you will need to prepare the motion for reconsideration and file it with the Supreme Court of Mississippi, or the appropriate court of appeals if the case falls within their jurisdiction. The motion should include a concise statement that explains why you believe you should be granted a new hearing or reconsideration. Next, you will need to serve the motion on the other party to the case. This can be done by mailing the motion and accompanying documents to the other party through certified mail with a return receipt requested. Once the motion is served, you will need to file a proof of service with the court. This should include an affidavit or declaration, as well as any documents that prove the motion was served. Finally, you will need to submit briefs to the court in support of your motion. These briefs should include facts and legal arguments that support your position and explain why reconsideration should be granted. Once your motion and briefs have been submitted, the court will decide whether or not to grant the motion. If the court agrees, a new hearing or reconsideration will be granted. If the court denies the motion, it will be up to the other party to appeal the decision.
