Rule 6 - Docketing Statement; Accelerated Calendar(A) Docketing Statement. Each appellant and cross-appellant shall file a fully completed docketing statement, typed or legibly printed, at the same time as filing the notice of appeal or cross-appeal. A docketing statement is not fully completed unless a time-stamped copy of the judgment being appealed is attached. The party prosecuting an appeal shall serve a copy of the completed docketing statement together with the notice of appeal on the opposing party. The clerk of the trial court shall provide docketing statement forms as prescribed by this Court. (See Appendix for Docketing Statement Form). Docketing statements of a form other than the one shown in the Appendix will not be allowed. The clerk of the trial court shall send a copy of the docketing statement to the Court of Appeals along with a copy of the notice of appeal.
(B) Accelerated Calendar. Pursuant to App.R. 11.1, this Court has adopted an accelerated calendar. The Court shall determine from the docketing statement whether the appeal will be assigned to the accelerated or regular calendar. If the appeal is assigned to the accelerated calendar, oral arguments shall not be scheduled and the matter will be determined upon submission of all briefs. If appellee or cross-appellee objects to the assignment of the appeal to the accelerated calendar, appellee or cross-appellee may file an objection with this Court within thirty days of the filing of the docketing statement and the case shall be assigned to the regular calendar.
