As amended through June 11, 2024
Rule 2.35 - SUMMARY DETERMINATION OF APPEALABILITY AND EXPEDITED SUPREME COURT REVIEW(1) As used in this rule, "decision" means any oral or written ruling of a circuit court or the Tax Court.(2) The Supreme Court in a direct appeal of a decision to that court and the Court of Appeals in an appeal of a decision to that court may make a summary determination of whether the decision is appealable.(3)(a) If the court makes a summary determination of appealability, the order or opinion expressing the court's determination shall expressly state that the determination is a summary determination under ORS 19.235(3). The order or opinion also shall contain a notice informing the parties that the order or opinion is a summary determination of appealability under ORS 19.235(3), that the determination is subject to review or reconsideration by the Supreme Court, that the petition for review shall be filed within 14 days after the order or opinion or such shorter time as may be ordered by either court and that the Supreme Court will expedite its consideration of the petition. (b) If an appellate determination of appealability does not expressly state that it is a summary determination of appealability under ORS 19.235(3), then the determination is not subject to ORS 19.235(3) or this rule.(4) Unless a shorter period of time is ordered by the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court, a petition for review of a summary determination by the Court of Appeals or a petition for reconsideration of a summary determination by the Supreme Court shall be filed within 14 days after the date of the appellate court's determination. The caption of the petition shall prominently display the words "Expedited Summary Determination of Appealability Pursuant to ORAP 2.35(4)." The Supreme Court shall expedite its consideration of a petition for review or reconsideration of a summary determination of appealability.(5) If the appellate court has determined that the decision is not appealable and has dismissed the appeal, and the opportunity for review or reconsideration of that determination as provided in this rule has been exhausted or has expired, the Administrator shall immediately issue the appellate judgment. See generally ORS 19.235.
