Plain-English Summary
Section 11-11 governs motions that affect when the appeal clock starts running. Under Section 63-1, some motions delay the commencement of the appeal period, and others toll the appeal period so that it begins again once decided. This rule requires that any such motions be filed together, so far as that is possible, and be considered by the same judge who rendered the judgment or decision being challenged.
The party filing one of these motions must identify the judgment or decision at issue, name the judge who rendered it, state the specific grounds relied on, and mark the bottom of the first page to show it is a Section 11-11 motion. The rule covers motions to reargue decisions that are final judgments for purposes of appeal, but it does not apply to motions filed under Sections 16-35, 17-2A, or 11-12.
