Rule 11.3 - CRIMINAL APPEALS INVOLVING DENIAL OF PRETRIAL BAIL(A)Priority. In accordance with R.C. 2937.222(D)(1), an appeal from a trial court's denial of pretrial bail to a criminal defendant shall be placed upon an expedited schedule so that the final disposition of the matter can occur as quickly as feasible. Once the trial record has been submitted and the briefing schedule has been completed, such an appeal shall be given the highest priority, to the extent that it will be set for disposition separately from the court's regular calendar. In this respect, the appeal shall be accorded the same priority as a habeas corpus case which sets forth a viable claim for relief.(B)Duties of the Clerk. Transmission of Notice of Appeal. Immediately upon the filing of the Notice of Appeal, the clerk of courts shall transmit the Notice of Appeal to the court by fax, e-mail, or other electronic format.(C)Record.The trial court record, including any transcript of proceedings, shall be filed with the clerk for this court in the respective county 20 days from the filing of the Notice of Appeal. Preparation of the record, including any transcript of proceedings, shall be given priority over the preparation of the records in all other cases. Extensions for the filing of the record shall not be granted, except in the most extreme circumstances and only in the interest of justice.
When the employment of an acceptable substitute for the transcript or the entire record would facilitate the submission of the trial court record to the clerk in less than 20 days, counsel for both sides should consider following the procedures set forth in Ohio App.R. 9(C) or 9(D).
(D)Briefs. Appellant's Brief must be served and filed within seven days from the date the trial court record, including any transcript of proceedings, is filed with the clerk for this court in the respective county. Appellee's Brief must be served and filed within seven days from the date that Appellant's Brief was filed. Consistent with the expedited procedure for the instant appeal, no Reply Brief will be permitted. Extensions for the filing of briefs shall not be granted, except in the most extreme circumstances and only in the interest of justice.(E)Oral Argument. The case will be considered for immediate decision after all briefs have been filed unless oral argument is requested and ordered. The request for oral argument shall be included on the cover page of the parties' initial briefs or it is deemed waived.Amended effective 6/1/2022; amended effective 7/3/2023; amended effective 7/1/2024.
