A Minnesota Petition for Review of Decision of Court of Appeals is a legal document used to appeal the decision of the Minnesota Court of Appeals directly to the Minnesota Supreme Court. A petitioner typically files this petition when they are unsatisfied with the decision of the Minnesota Court of Appeals and wish to have the decision reviewed or overturned by the Minnesota Supreme Court. The two main types of Minnesota Petition for Review of Decision of Court of Appeals are discretionary and mandamus petitions. A discretionary petition is filed when the petitioner is asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to review the decision of the Court of Appeals on a discretionary basis. A mandamus petition is filed when the petitioner is asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to direct the Court of Appeals to take a specific action. The petitioner must provide the Minnesota Supreme Court with a statement of the case, a copy of the petition, and the reasons why they believe the decision should be reviewed. Once the petition is filed, the Minnesota Supreme Court will decide if it will grant the request for review or not.
