The state public defender shall not grant a petition for waiver from a rule unless a statute or other provision of law has delegated authority to the state public defender sufficient to justify that action and the waiver is consistent with the statute or other provision of law. No waiver may be granted from a requirement that is imposed by statute, unless the statute itself specifically authorizes that action. Any waiver must be consistent with statute.
