(a) The appellant must file an original and one copy of the appellant's memorandum in the trial court within 60 calendar days of the deadline to file the notice of appeal. The trial court must mail or deliver the copy of the memorandum to the appellee. For good cause, the trial court may enlarge the time to file the memorandum.

The trial court must mail or deliver the copy of the memorandum to the appellant. For good cause, the trial court may enlarge the time to file the appellee's memorandum. If the appellee does not file a memorandum, the appeal must be submitted on the appellant's memorandum and the record. The non-filing of an appellee's memorandum is not a confession of error.

Memoranda must set forth a factual and legal basis for appropriate judicial relief. Memoranda must include a short statement of the facts with reference to the record, a concise argument setting forth the legal issues presented with citation of authority, and a conclusion stating the precise remedy sought on appeal.
