Within 15 days you are ordered to file the papers necessary for an appeal accompanied by the papers required to ask the court that you be allowed to file the appeal late or beyond the time normally alloted for this appeal.
Re: legal meaning of paragraph from court order
Mr. Hendrickson is probably 100% correct, but just to be sure, you might check with the clerk of the court. (Just call the clerk's office and ask the question.) Sometimes there are odd court rules, time limits or other matters that are not obvious in the Order itself.
Good luck.
