Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 121.02 (2026)

Except as provided in Rule 121.03, no written petition or other document need be filed unless the reviewing court so directs. If the reviewing court is of the opinion that either no emergency exists or no relief is available, it may either deny the oral petition or may direct the party to proceed under Rule 120. Otherwise, after affording all parties an opportunity to be heard, it may:

(a) issue a peremptory writ, or

(b) grant such other relief as the interest of justice requires.

(Amended effective for appeals taken on or after January 1, 1992.)
