title: Scope of Rules

text: RAP 1.1 SCOPE OF RULES (a) Review of Trial Court Decision and of Administrative Adjudicative Order. These rules govern proceedings in the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals for review of a trial court decision and for direct review in the Court of Appeals of an administrative adjudicative order under RCW 34.05.518. (b) Review of Decision of Court of Appeals. These rules also establish the procedure for seeking review of a decision of the Court of Appeals by the Supreme Court. Review of a decision of the Court of Appeals is governed by Title 13 of these rules. (c) Special Proceedings. These rules also establish the procedure for original actions in the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals and the procedure for determining questions of law certified by a federal court, all called "special proceedings." Special proceedings are governed by Title 16 of these rules. (d) Application to Both Appellate Courts. Each rule applies to proceedings both in the Supreme Court and in the Court of Appeals, unless a different application is indicated. Both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals are called "appellate court." (e) Application to Civil and Criminal Proceedings and Juvenile Court Proceedings. Each rule applies to both civil and criminal proceedings, unless a different application is indicated. If different rules apply in civil and criminal proceedings, the criminal rule applies to review of a decision in a juvenile offense proceeding, and the civil rule applies to review of any other decision by a juvenile court. (f) Action of Appellate Court. The appellate court clerk and commissioner are given authority by these rules to make some decisions, called rulings. An act performed on the authority of these rules is action taken by the appellate court whether that act is performed by the clerk or a commissioner or by the judges of the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals. (g) Superseding Effect of Rules. These rules supersede all statutes and rules covering procedure in the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, unless one of these rules specifically indicates to the contrary. (h) Effect of Subsequent Legislation. If a statute in conflict with a rule is enacted after these rules become effective and that statute does not supersede the conflicting rule by direct reference to the rule by number, the rule applies unless the rule specifically indicates that statutes control. If a statute in conflict with a rule is enacted after these rules become effective and that statute does supersede the conflicting rule by direct reference to the rule by number, the statute applies until such time as the rule may be amended or changed by the Supreme Court through exercise of its rulemaking power. (i) General Orders. The Court of Appeals, pursuant to RCW 2.06.040, may establish rules that are supplementary to and do not conflict with rules of the Supreme Court. These supplementary rules will be called General Orders. The General Orders for each division of the Court of Appeals can be obtained from the division’s clerk’s office or found at www.courts.wa.gov. References Rule 18.22, Statutes and Rules Superseded. [Adopted effective July 1, 1976; Amended effective July 1, 1978; September 1, 1994; September 1, 2006.]

title: Interpretation and Waiver of Rules by Court

text: RAP 1.2 INTERPRETATION AND WAIVER OF RULES BY COURT (a) Interpretation. These rules will be liberally interpreted to promote justice and facilitate the decision of cases on the merits. Cases and issues will not be determined on the basis of compliance or noncompliance with these rules except in compelling circumstances where justice demands, subject to the restrictions in rule 18.8(b). (b) Words of Command. Unless the context of the rule indicates otherwise: "Should" is used when referring to an act a party or counsel for a party is under an obligation to perform. The court will ordinarily impose sanctions if the act is not done within the time or in the manner specified. The word "must" is used in place of "should" if extending the time within which the act must be done is subject to the severe test under rule 18.8(b) or to emphasize failure to perform the act in a timely way may result in more severe than usual sanctions. The word "will" or "may" is used when referring to an act of the appellate court. The word "shall" is used when referring to an act that is to be done by an entity other than the appellate court, a party, or counsel for a party. (c) Waiver. The appellate court may waive or alter the provisions of any of these rules in order to serve the ends of justice, subject to the restrictions in rule 18.8(b) and (c).

title: Methods for Seeking Review of Trial Court Decision--Generally

text: RAP 2.1 METHODS FOR SEEKING REVIEW OF TRIAL COURT DECISION—GENERALLY (a) Two Methods for Seeking Review of Superior Court Decisions. The only methods for seeking review of decisions of the superior court by the Court of Appeals and by the Supreme Court are the two methods provided by these rules. The two methods are: (1) Review as a matter of right, called "appeal"; and (2) Review by permission of the reviewing court, called "discretionary review." Both "appeal" and "discretionary review" are called "review." The term "decision" refers to rulings, orders, and judgments of the trial court, or the appellate court, as the context indicates. (b) Writ Procedure Superseded. The procedure for seeking review of trial court decisions established by these rules supersedes the review procedure formerly available by extraordinary writs of review, certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, and other writs formerly considered necessary and proper to the complete exercise of appellate and revisory jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. Original writs in the appellate court are not superseded and are governed by Title 16. (c) Method for Seeking Direct Review of Final Decision of Administrative Agency. The procedure for seeking direct review by the Court of Appeals of a final order in an administrative adjudicative proceeding is defined by RCW 34.05.518 and RCW 34.05.522. (d) Method for Seeking Review of Decisions of Courts of Limited Jurisdiction. The only method for seeking direct review by the Supreme Court of a decision of a court of limited jurisdiction, without first obtaining a Superior Court decision under the RALJ, is by notice of appeal as provided for in Rule 4.3. References Rule 16.2, Original Action Against State Officer; Rules 16.3-16.15, Personal Restraint Petition; Const. art. 4, § 4.

(b) Appeal by State or a Local Government in Criminal Case. Except as provided in section (c), the State or a local government may appeal in a criminal case only from the following superior court decisions and only if the appeal will not place the defendant in double jeopardy: (1) Final Decision, Except Not Guilty. A decision that in effect abates, discontinues, or determines the case other than by a judgment or verdict of not guilty, including but not limited to a decision setting aside, quashing, or dismissing an indictment or information, or a decision granting a motion to dismiss under CrR 8.3(c).

(3) Arrest or Vacation of Judgment. An order arresting or vacating a judgment. (4) New Trial. An order granting a new trial. (5) Disposition in Juvenile Offense Proceeding. A disposition in a juvenile offense proceeding that (A) is below the standard range of disposition for the offense, (B) the state or local government believes involves a miscalculation of the standard range, (C) includes provisions that are unauthorized by law, or (D) omits a provision that is required by law. (6) Sentence in Criminal Case.

(d) Multiple Parties or Multiple Claims or Counts. In any case with multiple parties or multiple claims for relief, or in a criminal case with multiple counts, an appeal may be taken from a final judgment that does not dispose of all the claims or counts as to all the parties, but only after an express direction by the trial court for entry of judgment and an express determination in the judgment, supported by written findings, that there is no just reason for delay. The findings may be made at the time of entry of judgment or thereafter on the court's own motion or on motion of any party. The time for filing notice of appeal begins to run from the entry of the required findings. In the absence of the required findings, determination and direction, a judgment that adjudicates less than all the claims or counts, or adjudicates the rights and liabilities of less than all the parties, is subject only to discretionary review until the entry of a final judgment adjudicating all the claims, counts, rights, and liabilities of all the parties.

title: Decisions of the Trial Court Which May Be Reviewed by Discretionary Review

text: RAP 2.3 DECISIONS OF THE TRIAL COURT WHICH MAY BE REVIEWED BY DISCRETIONARY REVIEW (a) Decision of Superior Court. Unless otherwise prohibited by statute or court rule, a party may seek discretionary review of any act of the superior court not appealable as a matter of right. (b) Considerations Governing Acceptance of Review. Except as provided in section (d), discretionary review may be accepted only in the following circumstances: (1) The superior court has committed an obvious error which would render further proceedings useless; (2) The superior court has committed probable error and the decision of the superior court substantially alters the status quo or substantially limits the freedom of a party to act; (3) The superior court has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or so far sanctioned such a departure by an inferior court or administrative agency, as to call for review by the appellate court; or (4) The superior court has certified, or that all parties to the litigation have stipulated, that the order involves a controlling question of law as to which there is substantial ground for a difference of opinion and that immediate review of the order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation. (c) Effect of Denial of Discretionary Review. Except with regard to a decision of a superior court entered in a proceeding to review a decision of a court of limited jurisdiction, the denial of discretionary review of a superior court decision does not affect the right of a party to obtain later review of the trial court decision or the issues pertaining to that decision. (d) Considerations Governing Acceptance of Review of Superior Court Decision on Review of Decision of Court of Limited Jurisdiction. Discretionary review of a superior court decision entered in a proceeding to review a decision of a court of limited jurisdiction will be accepted only: (1) If the decision of the superior court is in conflict with a decision of the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court; or (2) If a significant question of law under the Constitution of the State of Washington or of the United States is involved; or (3) If the decision involves an issue of public interest which should be determined by an appellate court; or (4) If the superior court has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or so far sanctioned such a departure by the court of limited jurisdiction, as to call for review by the appellate court. (e) Acceptance of Review. Upon accepting discretionary review, the appellate court may specify the issue or issues as to which review is granted.

title: Scope of Review of a Trial Court Decision

text: RAP 2.4 SCOPE OF REVIEW OF A TRIAL COURT DECISION (a) Generally. The appellate court will, at the instance of the appellant, review the decision or parts of the decision designated in the notice of appeal or, subject to RAP 2.3(e) in the notice for discretionary review, and other decisions in the case as provided in sections (b), (c), (d), and (e). The appellate court will, at the instance of the respondent, review those acts in the proceeding below which if repeated on remand would constitute error prejudicial to respondent. The appellate court will grant a respondent affirmative relief by modifying the decision which is the subject matter of the review only (1) if the respondent also seeks review of the decision by the timely filing of a notice of appeal or a notice of discretionary review, or (2) if demanded by the necessities of the case. (b) Order or Ruling Not Designated in Notice. The appellate court will review a trial court order or ruling not designated in the notice, including an appealable order, if (1) the order or ruling prejudicially affects the decision designated in the notice, and (2) the order is entered, or the ruling is made, before the appellate court accepts review. A timely notice of appeal of a trial court decision relating to attorney fees and costs does not bring up for review a decision previously entered in the action that is otherwise appealable under rule 2.2(a) unless a timely notice of appeal has been filed to seek review of the previous decision. (c) Final Judgment Not Designated in Notice. Except as provided in rule 2.4(b), the appellate court will review a final judgment not designated in the notice only if the notice designates an order deciding a timely motion based on (1) CR 50(a) (judgment as a matter of law), (2) CR 52(b) (amendment of findings), (3) CR 59 (reconsideration, new trial, and amendment of judgments), (4) CrR 7.4 (arrest of judgment), or (5) CrR 7.5 (new trial). (d) Order Deciding Alternative Posttrial Motions in Civil Case. An appeal from the judgment granted on a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict brings up for review the ruling of the trial court on a motion for new trial. If the appellate court reverses the judgment notwithstanding the verdict, the appellate court will review the ruling on the motion for a new trial. (e) Order Deciding Alternative Posttrial Motions in Criminal Case. An appeal from an order granting a motion in arrest of judgment brings up for review the ruling of the trial court on a motion for new trial. If the appellate court reverses the order granting the motion in arrest of judgment, the appellate court will review the ruling on a motion for new trial. (f) Decisions on Certain Motions Not Designated in Notice. An appeal from a final judgment brings up for review the ruling of the trial court on an order deciding a timely motion based on (1) CR 50(b) (judgment as a matter of law), (2) CR 52(b) (amendment of findings), (3) CR 59 (reconsideration, new trial, and amendment of judgments), (4) CrR 7.4 (arrest of judgment), or (5) CrR 7.5 (new trial). (g) Award of Attorney Fees. An appeal from a decision on the merits of a case brings up for review an award of attorney fees entered after the appellate court accepts review of the decision on the merits. References Rule 5.2, Time Allowed To File Notice, (f) Subsequent notice by other parties.

title: Circumstances Which May Affect Scope of Review

text: RAP 2.5 CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MAY AFFECT SCOPE OF REVIEW (a) Errors Raised for First Time on Review. The appellate court may refuse to review any claim of error which was not raised in the trial court. However, a party may raise the following claimed errors for the first time in the appellate court: (1) lack of trial court jurisdiction, (2) failure to establish facts upon which relief can be granted, and (3) manifest error affecting a constitutional right. A party or the court may raise at any time the question of appellate court jurisdiction. A party may present a ground for affirming a trial court decision which was not presented to the trial court if the record has been sufficiently developed to fairly consider the ground. A party may raise a claim of error which was not raised by the party in the trial court if another party on the same side of the case has raised the claim of error in the trial court. (b) Acceptance of Benefits. (1) Generally. A party may accept the benefits of a trial court decision without losing the right to obtain review of that decision only (i) if the decision is one that is subject to modification by the court making the decision or (ii) if the party gives security as provided in subsection (b)(2) or (iii) if, regardless of the result of the review based solely on the issues raised by the party accepting benefits, the party will be entitled to at least the benefits of the trial court decision or (iv) if the decision is one that divides property in connection with a dissolution of marriage, a legal separation, a declaration of invalidity of marriage, or the dissolution of a committed intimate relationship. (2) Security. If a party gives adequate security to make restitution if the decision is reversed or modified, a party may accept the benefits of the decision without losing the right to obtain review of that decision. A party that would otherwise lose the right to obtain review because of the acceptance of benefits shall be given a reasonable period of time to post security to prevent loss of review. The trial court making the decision shall fix the amount and type of security to be given by the party accepting the benefits. (3) Conflict With Statutes. In the event of any conflict between this section and a statute, the statute governs. (c) Law of the Case Doctrine Restricted. The following provisions apply if the same case is again before the appellate court following a remand: (1) Prior Trial Court Action. If a trial court decision is otherwise properly before the appellate court, the appellate court may at the instance of a party review and determine the propriety of a decision of the trial court even though a similar decision was not disputed in an earlier review of the same case. (2) Prior Appellate Court Decision. The appellate court may at the instance of a party review the propriety of an earlier decision of the appellate court in the same case and, where justice would best be served, decide the case on the basis of the appellate court's opinion of the law at the time of the later review.

title: Substitution of Parties

text: RAP 3.2 SUBSTITUTION OF PARTIES (a) Substitution Generally. The appellate court will substitute parties to a review when it appears that a party is deceased or legally incompetent or that the interest of a party in the subject matter of the review has been transferred. (b) Duty To Move for Substitution. A party with knowledge of the death or declared legal disability of a party to review, or knowledge of the transfer of a party's interest in the subject matter of the review, shall promptly move for substitution of parties. The motion and all other documents must be served on all parties and on the personal representative or successor in interest of a party, within the time and in the manner provided for service on a party. If a party fails to promptly move for substitution, the personal representative of a deceased or legally disabled party, or the successor in interest of a party, should promptly move for substitution of parties. (c) Where To Make Motion. The motion to substitute parties must be made in the appellate court if the motion is made after the notice of appeal was filed or discretionary review was granted. In other cases, the motion should be made in the trial court. (d) Procedure Pending Substitution. A party, a successor in interest of a party, a personal representative of a deceased or legally disabled party, or an attorney of record for a deceased or legally disabled party who has no personal representative, may without waiting for substitution file (1) a notice of appeal, (2) a notice for discretionary review, (3) a motion for reconsideration, (4) a petition for review, and (5) a motion for discretionary review of a decision of a trial court or the Court of Appeals. (e) Time Limits. The time reasonably necessary to accomplish substitution of parties is excluded from computations of time made to determine whether the following have been timely filed: (1) a notice of appeal, (2) a notice for discretionary review, (3) a motion for reconsideration, (4) a petition for review, and (5) a motion for discretionary review of a decision of a trial court or the Court of Appeals. (f) Public Officer. If a public officer is a party to a proceeding in the appellate court and during its pendency dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold office, a party or the new public officer may move for substitution of the successor as provided in this rule.

The appellate court, on its own initiative or on motion of a party, may order the consolidation of cases or the separation of cases for the purpose of review. A party should move to consolidate two or more cases if consolidation would save time and expense and provide for a fair review of the cases. If two or more cases have been consolidated for review in the Court of Appeals, the cases remain consolidated for review in the Supreme Court unless the Supreme Court otherwise directs.

text: RAP 5.1 REVIEW INITIATED BY FILING NOTICE OF APPEAL OR NOTICE FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW (a) Review Initiated by Notice. A party seeking review of a trial court decision reviewable as a matter of right must file a notice of appeal. A party seeking review of a trial court decision subject to discretionary review must file a notice for discretionary review. Each notice must be filed with the trial court within the time provided by rule 5.2. (b) Filing Fee. The first party to file a notice of appeal or notice for discretionary review must, at the time the notice is filed, pay the statutory filing fee to the clerk of the superior court in which the notice is filed. For cases that were tried together or consolidated for trial, only one filing fee need be paid, notwithstanding that separate notices are filed for each case. (c) Incorrectly Designated Notice. A notice for discretionary review of a decision which is appealable will be given the same effect as a notice of appeal. A notice of appeal of a decision which is not appealable will be given the same effect as a notice for discretionary review. (d) Cross Review. Cross review means review initiated by a party already a respondent in an appeal or a discretionary review. A party seeking cross review must file a notice of appeal or a notice for discretionary review within the time allowed by rule 5.2(f). (e) Final Judgment Entered After Notice for Discretionary Review Has Been Filed. If a final judgment is entered after a notice for discretionary review is filed, a party seeking review of the final judgment must file a notice of appeal from the judgment within the time provided by rule 5.2.

title: Content of Notice--Filing

text:
RAP 5.3 CONTENT OF NOTICE—FILING (a) Content of Notice of Appeal. A notice of appeal must (1) be titled a notice of appeal, (2) specify the party or parties seeking the review, (3) designate the decision or part of decision which the party wants reviewed, and (4) name the appellate court to which the review is taken. The party filing the notice of appeal should attach to the notice of appeal a copy of the signed order or judgment from which the appeal is made, and, in a criminal case in which two or more defendants were joined for trial by order of the trial court, provide the names and superior court cause numbers of all codefendants. In a criminal case where the defendant is not represented by counsel at trial, the trial court clerk shall attach a copy of the judgment and sentence, the order of indigency, if applicable, and any service documents with the notice as provided in rule 5.3(j). (b) Content of Notice for Discretionary Review. A notice for discretionary review must comply in content and form with the requirements for a notice of appeal, except that it should be titled a notice for discretionary review. A party seeking discretionary review of a decision of a court of limited jurisdiction should include the name of the district or municipal court and the cause number for which review is sought. (c) Identification of Parties, Counsel, and Address of Defendant in Criminal Case. The party seeking review should include on the notice of appeal the name and address of the attorney for each of the parties. (d) Multiple Parties Filing Notice. More than one party may join in filing a single notice of appeal or notice for discretionary review. (e) Notices Directed to More Than One Case. If cases have been consolidated for trial, or have been tried together even though not consolidated for trial, separate notices for each case or a single notice for more than one case may be filed. A single notice for more than one case will be given the same effect as if a separate notice had been filed for each case. If cases have not been consolidated for trial or have not been tried together, separate notices must be filed. (f) Defects in Form of Notice. The appellate court will disregard defects in the form of a notice of appeal or a notice for discretionary review if the notice clearly reflects an intent by a party to seek review. (g) Notices Directed to More Than One Court. If a notice of appeal or a notice for discretionary review is filed which is directed to the Court of Appeals and a notice is filed in the same case which is directed to the Supreme Court, the case will be treated as if all notices were directed to the Supreme Court. (h) Amendment of Notice Directed to Portion of Decision. In order to do justice, the appellate court may, on its own initiative or on the motion of a party, permit an amendment of a notice to include (i) additional parts of a trial court decision or (ii) subsequent acts of the trial court that relate to the act designated in the original notice of discretionary review. If the amendment is permitted, the record should be supplemented as provided in rule 9.10. The appellate court may condition the amendment on appropriate terms, including payment of a compensatory award under rule 18.9. An amendment extends the time allowed to seek cross review only of those additional parts of the decision or subsequent acts, and such notice seeking cross review must be filed within the later of (1) 14 days after service of the amended notice filed by the other party or (2) the time within which notice must be given as provided by rule 5.2(a), (b), (d), or (e).

(i) Notice by Fewer Than All Parties on a Side—Joinder. If there are multiple parties on a side of a case and fewer than all of the parties on that side of the case timely file a notice of appeal or notice for discretionary review, the appellate court will grant relief only (1) to a party who has timely filed a notice, (2) to a party who has been joined as provided in this section or (3) to a party if demanded by the necessities of the case. The appellate court will permit the joinder on review of a party who did not give notice only if the party's rights or duties are derived through the rights or duties of a party who timely filed a notice or if the party's rights or duties are dependent upon the appellate court determination of the rights or duties of a party who timely filed a notice. (j) Assistance to Defendant in Criminal Case or Party Entitled to Review at Public Expense. Trial counsel for a defendant in a criminal case or party entitled to review at public expense is responsible for filing any appropriate notice of appeal, notice for discretionary review, and motion for order of indigency under rule 15.2. If such a defendant or party is not represented by counsel at trial, the trial court clerk shall, if requested by a defendant or party in open court or in writing, supply a notice of appeal form, a notice for discretionary review form, or a form for a motion for order of indigency, and file the forms upon completion by the defendant or party. The clerk shall transmit the forms and all related orders to the appellate court.

title: Filing and Service of Notice

text: RAP 5.4 FILING AND SERVICE OF NOTICE (a) Filing of Notice by Clerk of Trial Court. The clerk of the trial court shall within 14 days of the filing of a notice of appeal or notice for discretionary review file a copy of the notice along with any proof or affidavit of service filed for the notice with the appellate court designated in the notice and notify that court whether the filing fee has been paid. The clerk shall indicate on the notice in the clerk's file, or on a separate paper, the date the notice and proof of service, if applicable, was mailed to the appellate court. In a case where a defendant is not represented by counsel at trial, the clerk shall also transmit the designated appellate court a copy of the judgment and sentence, order of indigency, if applicable, and any service documents. Failure by the clerk to file the notice with the appellate court has no effect on the rights of any party to review. (b) Service of Notice by Party. The party filing the notice of appeal or notice for discretionary review shall on the same day serve a copy of the notice on each party of record and file a copy of proof of service with the appellate court designated in the notice. Failure to serve a party with notice or file proof of service does not prejudice the rights of the party seeking review, but may subject the party to a motion by the clerk of the appellate court to dismiss the appeal if not cured in a timely manner. A party prejudiced by the failure to serve the notice or to file the proof of service may move in the appellate court for appropriate relief. [Adopted effective July 1, 1976; Amended effective September 1, 1994; September 1, 1998; September 1, 2014.]
