Rule 6.05: Reply Brief

A reply brief may not be submitted unless made necessary by new material contained in the appellee’s or cross-appellee’s brief. A reply brief must include a specific reference to the new material being rebutted and may not include, except by reference, a statement, argument, or authority already included in a preceding brief. If a reply brief is permissible, a cross-appellee must combine the reply brief with the cross-appellee’s brief as a separate section.
