How do I file a petition for rehearing on an appeal?

In California, a petition to rehear an appeal is known as a "petition for rehearing". To file a petition for rehearing, you must file a Notice of Appeal in the same court that decided the initial appeal. Once the Notice of Appeal has been filed, you must complete the form for the petition for rehearing, including the reasons for why you believe the appeal should be reheard. The form must be signed by the petitioner, or their attorney. The form should be addressed to the judge who will hear the rehearing petition. It should include the name of the court, the case number, the name of the petitioner, and the name and address of any attorney representing the petitioner. The form should also provide the specific grounds for why the appeal should be reheard, such as new evidence, an incorrect ruling, or a mistake in the application of the law. Once the form is completed, it must be filed with the court. A filing fee must also be paid at the time the petition is filed. The fee amount will vary based on the court where the appeal is pending. After the petition is filed, the court will review it and decide whether to grant the petition. If the petition is granted, the court will set a date and time for the rehearing. Both parties will be given an opportunity to present their cases at the rehearing.
