- Rule 43’s own fifteen-day extension and tightly qualified further extension govern.
- Every appellate route has the same automatic thirty-day extension.
- The requested period is unlimited if counsel names Rule 45.
- Payment alone guarantees every requested extension.
- The CA may never examine the reason for further extension.
