No motion will be heard on oral argument except by order of the court.(G)Motion to Dismiss Appeal or Cross-Appeal.(1) In addition to any other relief provided by these rules, an adversary party may move to dismiss an appeal or cross-appeal because it is not within the jurisdiction of the appellate court or because it has not been prosecuted in conformity with these rules.(2) The filing of a motion to dismiss shall suspend the running of time for procedural steps otherwise required with regard to the appeal and any cross-appeal in the same proceeding. The time will continue to run as otherwise provided by these rules after the date an order is entered denying the motion or passing it to the merits.Adopted by order 2022-49, eff. 1/1/2023.
