IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON

Permanent Amendments

The Supreme Court:

(1) Adopts as permanent rules these temporary Rules of Appellate Procedure: Rule 2.22, 2.40, 2.45, 5.92, 8.12, 12.07, and 12.25, with additional amendments.

(2) Adopts amendments to these Rules of Appellate Procedure: Rule 1.10, 1.15, 1.40, 2.05, 3.07, 3.35, 4.15, 4.35, 5.05, 5.10, 5.35, 5.45, 5.70, 5.90, 6.10, 6.25, 7.25, 7.27, 8.10, 9.05, 10.15, 11l05, 11.30, 11.35, 12.05, 13.10, 13.15, 14.05, 15.05, and Appendix H.

(3) Adopts new Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.25.

Temporary Amendment

By order dated January 29, 1990, as modified by an amended order dated February 2, 2000, the Supreme Court has prescribed a procedure for adopting amendments to the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure. That procedure requires that all proposed amendments be published in the Oregon Appellate Courts Advance Sheets and requires a 49-day public comment period. However, the procedure also provides that the court may adopt temporary amendments without prior publication in the Advance Sheets and without opportunity for public comment, if the Supreme Court finds that special circumstances justify adopting the temporary amendments.

The Supreme Court finds that special circumstances justify adopting an amendment to Rule of Appellate Procedure 13.05, without prior publication in the Advance Sheets. In part, ORAP 13.05 implements ORS 20.190, relating to the prevailing party fee. ORS 20.190(4) bars the recovery by a prevailing party of more than one prevailing party fee and bars assessing more than one prevailing party fee against a non-prevailing party. The appellate courts have been receiving substantial numbers of statements of costs and disbursements that fail to acknowledge the provisions of ORS 20.190(4), which suggests the need to amend ORAP 13.05 to draw attention to those provisions.

Therefore, the Supreme Court adopts a temporary amendment to Rule of Appellate Procedure 13.05.

Format of Rule Amendments

Amended rules are shown in the attached pages with materials to be deleted in italic print and [bracketed] and material to be added in boldface print. Proposed new rules, including previously adopted temporary rules, are denoted by "Proposed New Rule ____," with the title and text of the new rule in regular print.

Authority Delegated to Editor of the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure

The Supreme Court gives the Editor of the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure the authority to do the following:

• Replace any reference to "abstract of record" with a reference to "excerpt of record," including but not necessarily limited to Rules 4.66(1), 4.68(2), 5.40(8), 5.55(2), 11.25(6), and Appendix K.
• Replace any reference to "the State Public Defender" with a reference to "the Office of Public Defense Services," including but not necessarily limited to Rules 5.80(7) and throughout Rule 12.12.
• Include a footnote in any rule authorizing submission of material to the court by facsimile transmission the appropriate fax number, currently (503) 986-5560, including but not necessarily limited to Rule 7.35.
• By footnote, refer the reader to that portion of Rule 1.35 containing the current address of the Office of the Attorney General, in any rule authorizing or requiring service on the Attorney General, including but not necessarily limited to Rule 2.05 as amended by this order, Rule 5.12, 11.30(5)(b), 11.32(2)(b), 11.34(2)(b), and 11.35(3).
• Include the current address of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, or State Court Administrator in a footnote to any rule requiring or authorizing filing with or service on the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, or State Court Administrator, including but not necessarily limited to the title page and Rule 1.35.
• Arrange appendices in the Appendix in the order of the first reference to each appendix made in the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure. Whenever a new rule or an amendment to an existing rule refers to an appendix that changes the chronological reference to the appendices in the Appendix, the Editor is authorized to substitute references to appendices in the text or footnotes of the rules and in the Appendix itself to maintain the appropriate chronological order of the appendices.
• Substitute references to "subsection," "paragraph," and "clause" consistent with the following convention, if the existing Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure or a new rule or an amendment to an existing rule should fail to follow the convention: The subpart of a rule should be referred to as "subsection;" the subpart of a subsection should be referred to as "paragraph;" and the subpart of a paragraph should be referred to as "clause."

(b) When the person who filed the action or proceeding files a copy of the transfer order with the State Court Administrator, the Administrator will assign a case number to the case. For the purpose of determining the next event in the appellate process, the case will be deemed to have been filed in the Court of Appeals on the day of filing of a copy of the circuit court's transfer order.*

(c) The person filing the action or proceeding shall pay the appellate filing fee at the same time as filing a copy of the transfer order or within such additional time as may be allowed by the Court of Appeals. Any respondent shall pay the respondent's first appearance fee on the respondent's first appearance thereafter.

(a) If the trial court determines that the material be subject to inspection only by the parties or their attorneys, the trial court shall mark ''confidential'' on the envelope.

¹For example, appeals from the Tax Court, judicial review of orders of the Energy Facility Siting Council relating to site certificate applications, bar admission and disciplinary proceedings and original jurisdiction cases under Article VII (Amended), section 2, of the Oregon Constitution.

See Rule 9.05(6) regarding the number of copies of a petition for review, Rule 9.10(3) regarding the number of copies of a response to a petition for review and Rule 9.25(2) regarding the number of copies of a petition for reconsideration of a Supreme Court decision.

The appellant's combined brief and excerpt shall begin with:

(1) an index of the contents of the brief, including a statement of the substance of each assignment of error, without argument, with appropriate page references;

[(2) an index of the contents of the excerpt showing the page on which each instrument abstracted may be found;]

[(3)](2) an index of appendices, if any; and

[(4)](3) an index of all authorities referred to, classified by cases (alphabetically arranged and with complete citations), constitutional and statutory provisions, texts, treatises and other authorities, and indicating the pages of the brief where the authorities are cited. Citations are to be in the form prescribed by the Oregon Appellate Courts' Style Manual. Reference to "passim'' or ``et seq.'' in the index of authorities is discouraged.

(1) A question or issue to be decided on appeal shall be raised in the form of an assignment of error, as prescribed in this rule. Assignments of error are required in all opening briefs of appellants and cross-appellants. No matter claimed as error will be considered on appeal unless the claimed error was preserved in the lower court and is assigned as error in the opening brief in accordance with this rule, provided that the appellate court may consider an error of law apparent on the face of the record.

(2) Each assignment of error shall be separately stated under a numbered heading. The arrangement and form of assignments of error, together with reference to pages of the record, should conform to the illustrations in Appendix H.

(3) Each assignment of error shall identify precisely the legal, procedural, factual, or other ruling that is being challenged.

(4) (a) Each assignment of error shall demonstrate that the question or issue presented by the assignment of error timely and properly was raised and preserved in the lower court. Under the subheading ``Preservation of Error'':

(i) Each assignment of error, as appropriate, must specify the stage in the proceedings when the question or issue presented by the assignment of error was raised in the lower court, the method or manner of raising it, and the way in which it was resolved or passed on by the lower court.

(ii) Each assignment of error must set out pertinent quotations of the record where the question or issue was raised and the challenged ruling was made, together with reference to the pages of the transcript or other portions of the record quoted or to the excerpt of record if the material quoted is set out in the excerpt of record. When the portions of the record relied on under this paragraph are lengthy, they shall be included in the excerpt of record instead of the body of the brief.

(b) An assignment of error for a claimed error apparent on the face of the record shall comply with the requirements for assignments of error generally by identifying the precise ruling, specifying the state of the proceedings when the ruling was made, and setting forth pertinent quotations of the record where the challenged ruling was made.¹

(c) The court may decline to consider any assignment of error that requires the court to search the record to find the error or to determine if the error properly was raised and preserved.

(5) Under the subheading ``Standard of Review,'' each assignment of error shall identify the applicable standard or standards of review, supported by citation to the statute, case law, or other legal authority for each standard of review.²

(6) Each assignment of error shall be followed by the argument. If several assignments of error present essentially the same legal question, the argument in support of them may be combined so far as practicable. The argument in support of a claimed error apparent on the face of the record shall demonstrate that the error is of the kind that may be addressed by the court without the error having been preserved in the record.

(a) Section A of the brief shall contain:

(i) A statement of the case, including a statement of the facts of the case. If the brief contains a Section B with one or more claims of error asserted by the client, the statement of facts shall include facts sufficient to put the claim or claims of error in context.

(ii) A description of any demurrer or significant motion filed in the case, including, but not limited to, a motion to dismiss, a motion to suppress and a motion in limine, and the trial court's disposition of the demurrer or motion.

(iii) A statement that the case is being submitted pursuant to this rule, that counsel has thoroughly reviewed the record and discussed the case with trial counsel and the client, and that counsel has not identified any arguably meritorious issue on appeal. If the brief does not contain a Section B, counsel also shall state that counsel contacted the client, gave the client reasonable opportunity to identify a claim or claims of error, and that the client did not identify any claim of error for inclusion in the brief.

(iv) Counsel's signature.

(b) (i) Section B of the brief [shall] is the client's product and may contain any claim of error [requested by] that the client [and shall be signed by the client] wishes to assert.

The last page of Section B of the brief shall contain the name and signature of the client.

(ii) Counsel's obligation with respect to Section B of the brief shall be limited to correcting obvious typographical errors, preparing copies of the brief, serving the appropriate parties, and filing the original brief and the appropriate number of copies with the court.

(2) A case in which appellant's brief is prepared and filed under this rule shall be submitted without oral argument, unless otherwise ordered by the court.

(3) On reviewing the record and the briefs filed by the parties, if the court identifies one or more arguably meritorious issues in the case, the court shall notify appellant's counsel of the issue or issues so identified. Appellant's counsel shall have 28 days from the date of the court's notice to file a supplemental opening brief addressing those issues. In addition to addressing the issue or issues identified by the court, counsel may address any other arguably meritorious issue counsel has identified. Respondent shall have 28 days after appellant files a supplemental opening brief to file a response or supplemental response brief addressing the issues raised in the supplemental opening brief.

(4) In a case other than a criminal case on direct appeal, court-appointed counsel who determines that there are no meritorious issues on appeal may submit a brief under this rule, in which case the matter will be submitted without oral argument, unless otherwise ordered by the court.

(5) In any case in which the appellant is represented by court-appointed counsel on appeal and counsel filed a brief in the Court of Appeals under subsection (1) of this rule, counsel may submit a petition for review that contains a Section A that complies with Rule 9.05(2), (5), and (7)(g), and a Section B that complies with paragraph (1)(b) of this rule.

See generally State v. Balfour, 311 Or 434, 451-53, 814 P2d 1069 (1991).

(1) When a client is represented by court-appointed counsel and the client is dissatisfied with the brief that counsel has filed, either the client or counsel may move the court for leave to file a supplemental pro se brief. If the client files the motion, in addition to serving all other parties to the case, the client shall serve counsel with a copy of the motion. If counsel files the motion, in addition to serving all other parties to the case, counsel shall serve the client with a copy of the motion.

(2) If the court gives a client leave to file a supplemental pro se brief, the client shall attempt to prepare the brief as nearly as practicable in proper appellate brief form. The last page of the brief shall contain the name and signature of the client. Unless the court orders otherwise, the statement of the case, including the statement of facts, and the argument together shall be limited to five pages.

(3) A supplemental pro se brief is the client's product; therefore, if the client requests assistance in preparing the brief, counsel's obligation shall be limited to correcting obvious typographical errors, preparing copies of the brief, serving the appropriate parties, and filing the original brief and the appropriate number of copies with the court. If the client prepares and files the brief without the assistance of counsel, in addition to serving all other parties to the appeal, the client shall serve a copy of the brief on counsel.

(5) (a) After the Administrator has given notice of the date of oral argument, any party who decides to waive oral argument or cannot attend oral argument shall give the court and all other parties participating in oral argument at least 48 hours' notice that the party will not be appearing for oral argument.

(b) If [counsel for] a party fails to appear at oral argument, the court may deem the cause submitted without oral argument as to that party. A party's failure to appear shall not preclude oral argument by [the] any other party.

(c) The respondent shall be entitled to recover from counsel for appellant costs and attorney fees related to preparation for and attendance at oral argument, if counsel for appellant fails to appear without having provided at least 48 hours' notice to respondent, unless good cause is shown for such failure.

(1) As used in this subsection, ``decision'' means an opinion, per curiam opinion or memorandum opinion of the Court of Appeals, including a decision affirming from the bench or affirming without opinion, and an order ruling on a motion or an own motion matter that dismisses the appeal. A party seeking reconsideration of a decision of the Court of Appeals shall file a petition for reconsideration. A petition for reconsideration shall be based on one or more of these contentions:

(a) A claim of factual error in the decision;

(b) A claim of error in the procedural disposition of the appeal requiring correction or clarification to make the disposition consistent with the holding or rationale of the decision or the posture of the case below;

(c) A claim of error in the designation of the prevailing party or award of costs;

(d) A claim that there has been a change in the statutes or case law since the Court of Appeals' decision; or

(e) A claim that the Court of Appeals erred in construing or applying the law. Claims addressing legal issues already argued in the parties' briefs and addressed by the Court of Appeals are disfavored.

(2) A petition for reconsideration shall be filed within 14 days of the Court of Appeals' decision. The petition shall have attached to it a copy of the decision for which reconsideration is sought. The form of the petition and the manner in which it is served and filed shall be the same as for motions generally, except that:

(a) The petition shall be accompanied by four copies, if the case was decided by a department of the court, or by 10 copies, if the case was decided by the full court, and

(b) The petition shall have a title page printed on plain white paper and containing the following information:

(i) The full case caption, including appropriate party designations for the parties as they appeared in the court from which the appeal was taken and as they appear on appeal, and the trial and appellate court case numbers;

(ii) A title designating the party filing the petition, such as ``Appellant's Petition for Reconsideration'' or ``Respondent's Petition for Reconsideration''; and

(iii) The names, bar numbers, addresses, and telephone numbers of counsel for the parties, and the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of parties appearing without an attorney.

(3) The filing of a petition for reconsideration is not necessary to exhaust remedies or as a prerequisite to filing a petition for review.

[(4) If a timely petition for reconsideration of a decision of the Court of Appeals is filed by any party, the time for filing a petition for review under Rule 9.05 concerning that decision for all parties shall not begin to run until the petition for reconsideration is decided.]

[(5) If a petition for review is filed during the time in which a petition for reconsideration may be filed or after the filing of a timely petition for reconsideration, the petition for review will not be submitted to the Supreme Court until the time for filing a petition for reconsideration expires or, if a timely petition for reconsideration is filed, until the petition for reconsideration is decided.]

[(6)](4) If a response to a petition for reconsideration is filed, the response shall be filed within seven days after the petition for reconsideration was filed. The court will proceed to consider a petition for reconsideration without awaiting the filing of a response, but will consider a response if one is filed before the petition for reconsideration is considered and decided.*

[(7)](5) A request for reconsideration of any other Court of Appeals' order ruling on a motion or an own motion matter shall be entitled ``motion for reconsideration.'' A motion for reconsideration is subject to Rule 7.05 regarding motions in general. [Subsections (4) and (5) of this rule do not apply to a motion for reconsideration under this subsection.]

_____________

*See Rule 9.05(3) regarding the effect of a petition for reconsideration by the Court of Appeals on the due date and consideration of a petition for review by the Supreme Court.

(1) Only the appellate court may grant an extension of time for the performance of any act pertaining to an appeal.

(2) A motion for an extension of time shall contain:

(a) the date the notice of appeal was filed (or in the case of a petition for review;

(b) the date of the decision of the Court of Appeals for which review is being sought);

(c) the date the brief or other action is due;

(d) the date to which the extension is requested;

(e) whether it is the first or other request;

(f) the specific circumstances which caused the act not to be completed in the allotted time; and

(g) in a criminal case, whether the defendant is incarcerated.

(3) A statement whether opposing counsel objects to, concurs in or has no position regarding the extension of time requested is required for any motion other than a first motion for 28 days or less to file a brief.

(4) An objection to a motion for extension of time shall articulate specific grounds for the objection and shall identify how an extension of time will prejudice the objector's interest. An attorney may object on the ground that the client has instructed counsel to object to any extension, but that alone will not be a sufficient ground to deny or reduce any extension of time.

(5) An objection to a request for an extension of time may be filed by facsimile transmission, provided that the objection does not exceed five pages. Filing shall be deemed complete when the entirety of the objection being transmitted has been received by the Administrator. The facsimile transmission shall have the same force and effect as filing of the original.

(6) A motion for an extension of time generally will be decided within a few days after it is filed. An objection to a motion for an extension of time filed after the court has granted the extension will be treated as a motion for reconsideration of the ruling. On reconsideration, if the court modifies the extension of time, the parties to the appeal will be notified; otherwise, the objection will be noted and placed in the appellate file.

(7) Requests for extensions of time for preparation of transcripts shall be made in accordance with Rule 3.30.

_____________

See Appendix L for illustration of a motion for extension of time.

(1) For good cause shown, the Administrator's designee may grant an oral request for an extension of time of no more than 14 days to file an opening, response, or reply brief, provided that:

(a) The party making the request for an extension of time under this rule shall give prior notice to the other parties to the appeal, except that such notice need not be given to a person confined in a state institution and not represented by counsel; and

(b) The party previously has not obtained written extension or extensions of time of more than 28 days.

(2) A party may request an oral extension of time under this rule, and the Administrator's designee may grant or deny the motion, by telephone.

(3) The Administrator's designee acting on an oral request for an extension of time shall enter the grant or denial of the request in the appellate case register.

(4) The grant of an extension of time under this rule will bar any further motion for time to file the brief unless such motion, made in writing, demonstrates extraordinary and compelling circumstances.

(1) Except as [to a party represented by court-appointed counsel] provided in Rule 8.12, after the filing of a notice of appeal, an attorney may not withdraw from a case except on order of the appellate court. A motion to withdraw must be filed and served on the client and opposing parties, and is subject to ORS 9.380 and ORS 9.390.

(2) Except as [to a party represented by court-appointed counsel] provided in Rule 8.12, substitution of attorney shall be accomplished in the manner prescribed in ORS 9.380. The substitution of attorney shall be accompanied by proof of service on all parties to the appeal. Unless it appears otherwise from the record, the court will presume that good and sufficient cause exists for substitution of counsel if both attorneys sign the substitution of counsel and, on filing the substitution of counsel in proper form, the substitution shall be deemed to have been ordered by the appellate court.

(3) An attorney who associates another attorney from a different firm on appeal shall file a notice of association with the appellate court, accompanied by proof of service on all parties to the appeal.

(4) An attorney admitted to the practice of law in another jurisdiction, but not in Oregon, may appear by brief and argue the cause in a proceeding before an appellate court in the manner prescribed in UTCR 3.170.¹

[(5) As to a party represented by court-appointed counsel on appeal, if the attorney wishes to withdraw from representing the party without appointment of new counsel, the motion to withdraw shall be filed in the appellate court. If the attorney wishes to withdraw and have new counsel appointed, the motion should be filed in the trial court. If the trial court appoints new counsel, the trial court clerk shall forward a copy of the order to the appellate court.]

_____________

¹See ORS 9.241; see also Rule 6.10(4) concerning appearing for oral argument only.

(1) (a) When a court-appointed attorney wishes to withdraw:

(i) Without appointment of new counsel, the attorney shall file the motion to withdraw in the appellate court.

(ii) With appointment of new counsel, the attorney shall file the motion to withdraw and appoint substitute counsel in the trial court. If the trial court appoints new counsel, the trial court administrator shall forward a copy of the order to the appellate court.

(b) If either the client, or the attorney at the request of the client, moves to appoint new counsel based on the client's dissatisfaction with professional services rendered by the attorney, the motion shall be filed in the appellate court. Counsel shall have no obligation to file a motion under this paragraph unless counsel determines that the motion is well taken.

(2) (a) If a party has a statutory or constitutional right to be represented by court-appointed counsel, the filing of any motion that would result in the party proceeding on appeal or review without counsel constitutes an attempt to waive the right to counsel.¹

(b) If the court declines to accept a party's attempt to waive counsel, the court shall give the party an opportunity to file a supplemental pro se brief as provided in Rule 5.92(2) and (3).

(3) To the extent practicable, the provisions of this rule are applicable to a legal advisor appointed under ORS 135.045(1)(d).²

Reviewable Decisions

(1) As used in this rule, ``decision'' means an opinion, per curiam opinion, or memorandum opinion of the Court of Appeals, including a decision affirming from the bench or affirming without opinion, and an order ruling on a motion, own motion matter, petition for attorney fees, or statement of costs and disbursements.

Time for Filing and for Submitting Petition for Review

[(1)](2)Any party seeking to obtain review of a decision of the Court of Appeals shall file a petition for review in the Supreme Court within 35 days from the date of the Court of Appeals' decision. The Supreme Court may grant an extension of time to file a petition for review.¹

(3) (a) If a timely petition for reconsideration of a decision of the Court of Appeals is filed by any party, the time for filing a petition for review concerning that decision for all parties shall not begin to run until the Court of Appeals issues its order deciding the petition for reconsideration.

(b) If a petition for review is filed during the time in which a petition for reconsideration in the Court of Appeals may be filed, the petition for review will not be submitted to the Supreme Court until the time for filing a petition for reconsideration expires.

(c) If a petition for review is filed after the filing of a timely petition for reconsideration, the petition for review will not be submitted to the Supreme Court until the Court of Appeals issues its order deciding the petition for reconsideration.²

(4) (a) If the Administrator has issued the appellate judgment based on the Court of Appeals' disposition of a case, within a reasonable time thereafter, a party may move to reinstate the appeal for the purpose of seeking review. The party shall file in the Supreme Court a motion to recall the appellate judgment and to establish a new due date for the petition for review.

(b) If the party requests immediate recall of the appellate judgment, the motion should identify the circumstances justifying that relief. Otherwise, the court may postpone the decision whether to recall the appellate judgment until the court decides whether to allow review.

(c) A party filing a motion to recall the appellate judgment in a criminal case, in addition to serving all other parties to the appeal, shall serve a copy of the motion on the district attorney.

The practice and procedure governing a petition to the Supreme Court to review a ballot title shall be:

(1) Any elector dissatisfied with a ballot title provided by the Attorney General under ORS 250.067 or ORS 250.075(2), or by the Legislative Assembly under ORS 250.075(1), may file with the Administrator a petition to review ballot title.

(2) The petition must be filed within 10 business days after the day upon which the Attorney General certifies the ballot title to the Secretary of State, or the Legislative Assembly files the ballot title with the Secretary of State. If a petition is mailed to the Administrator in compliance with Rule 1.35(1)(b), then the petition is deemed filed when mailed; otherwise, a petition is deemed filed when actually received by the Administrator.

(3) The form of the petition shall comply with Rule 7.10 governing motions. The petition shall have a title page containing:

(a) A case title in which the party petitioning for review is designated as the petitioner and the Attorney General is designated as the respondent.

(b) The title ``Petition to Review Ballot Title Certified by the Attorney General'' or ``Petition to Review Ballot Title Certified by the Legislative Assembly,'' as the case may be.

(c) The date the ballot title was certified.

(d) The chief petitioner or petitioners referred to in ORS 250.045.

(4) The body of the petition shall be no longer than 10 pages and:

(a) Shall state the petitioner's interest in the matter, whether the petitioner is an elector, and whether the petitioner timely submitted written comments on the draft ballot title.

(b) Shall include the reason the ballot title does not substantially comply with the requirements of ORS 250.035, [a proposed ballot title that the petitioner believes would substantially comply] and a request that the Supreme Court certify to the Secretary of State [the proposed] a ballot title that complies with the requirements of ORS 250.035 in lieu of the ballot title challenged by petitioner or refer the ballot title to the Attorney General for modification.

(c) May include under the heading ``Arguments and Authorities'' legal arguments and citation of legal authorities.

(5) (a) The petition shall have attached to it a copy of the ballot title as certified to or filed with the Secretary of State and containing the full text of the ballot title and a photocopy of the text of the measure as submitted to the Secretary of State.

(b) The petition shall show proof of service on the Secretary of State and the Attorney General,* and the chief petitioner or petitioners.

(c) The original and nine copies of the petition shall be filed. The petition shall be accompanied by the filing fee required for an original proceeding in the Supreme Court.

(6) The respondent or respondents shall be allowed [seven calendar] five business days after the filing of the petition, unless a lesser time is ordered by the court, within which to file an answering memorandum. Any answering memorandum shall be in the form prescribed by Rule 7.10 for answers to motions and shall not be longer than 10 pages. The original and nine copies of the answering memorandum shall be filed, with proof of service on counsel for the petitioner.

(7) The Attorney General may submit a letter waiving appearance in lieu of filing an answering memorandum. In either event, the Attorney General shall include the draft ballot title, the certified ballot title, the Attorney General's letter of transmittal to the Secretary of State and, if not overly lengthy, written comments received by the Secretary of State concerning the draft ballot title. In addition, the Attorney General may provide the court with the text of the certified ballot title, and any subsequent modified ballot title, by electronic mail. If the Attorney General claims that text as contained in the petition is in error, the Attorney General shall file an answering memorandum pointing out the discrepancy. The answering memorandum may set forth concisely the reasons why the Attorney General believes the ballot title filed with the Secretary of State substantially complies with the requirements of ORS 250.035 or, alternatively, may suggest alterations that in the Attorney General's judgment would make the ballot title substantially comply. The answer may also contain under separate heading legal arguments and citation to legal authorities.

(8) Additional persons, including the chief proponent or proponents of a measure, interested in a ballot title that is the subject of a petition may file a motion in the form prescribed by Rule 7.10, asking leave of the Supreme Court to intervene and respond to the petition or the Attorney General's answering memorandum, or both. If the Supreme Court allows the motion to intervene, the intervenor's memorandum shall be due within [seven calendar] five business days after the filing of the petition or within [seven calendar] five business days after the filing of the Attorney General's answering memorandum, whichever is applicable. Further, the court's order will state whether the intervenor will be allowed to argue orally to the court. No intervenor may assert an alleged defect in the Attorney General's certified ballot title not asserted by any petitioner.

(9) After the filing of all memoranda permitted, the Supreme Court will consider the matter without the filing of briefs or presentation of oral argument unless otherwise ordered by the court, either on its own motion or on request of the petitioner, respondent or intervenor. If the court orders oral argument, the petitioner shall argue first.

(10) For proceedings in which the Attorney General has filed a modified ballot title after referral from the Supreme Court, any party to the ballot title review proceeding may file an objection to the modified ballot title within five business days from the date of filing of the modified ballot title. The objection must be filed with and actually received by the Administrator within five business days from the date of filing of the modified ballot title and may be filed by telephonic facsimile communication as provided by Rule 7.35(3).^** No other party may respond to the objection unless the court requests a response, provided that the court will not sustain an objection to a modified ballot title unless the court has given the Attorney General and any other party to the case the opportunity to respond. If the court requests a response, the response shall be due within five business days of the date of the request, unless the court otherwise directs. If no party files a timely objection, then the court shall certify the modified ballot title, and the Administrator shall issue the appellate judgment on the next business day after the time for filing an objection expires. [Notwithstanding Rule 9.25(1) and Rule 14.05, the court's decision will become effective when the appellate judgment issues. The administrator shall issue the appellate judgment 10 calendar days after the filing date of the decision unless]

(11) A party to a ballot title review proceeding may seek reconsideration of the court's decision as follows:

(a) For proceedings on review in which the court (1) certifies the Attorney General's certified ballot title either with or without modification, or (2) certifies the Attorney General's modified ballot title either with or without modification, [a] the petition for reconsideration [is] must be filed with and actually received by the Administrator within [seven calendar] five business days after the filing of the decision. A timely petition for reconsideration will toll issuance of the appellate judgment until the court acts on all timely petitions for reconsideration. If the court denies reconsideration, the Administrator shall issue the appellate judgment the next [judicial] business day after the denial of all timely petitions for reconsideration. If no party files a timely petition for reconsideration, then the Administrator shall issue the appellate judgment seven business days after the filing date of the decision.

(b) For proceedings on review in which the court (1) refers the Attorney General's certified ballot title to the Attorney General for modification, or (2) refers the Attorney General's modified ballot title to the Attorney General for further modification, the petition for reconsideration must be filed with and actually received by the Administrator within 10 business days after the filing of the decision. A timely petition for reconsideration will toll issuance of the appellate judgment until the court acts on all timely petitions for reconsideration. If the court denies reconsideration and no party has filed an objection to the Attorney General's modified ballot title, then the Administrator shall issue the appellate judgment on the next business day after the denial of all timely petitions for reconsideration.

(c) The court's decision shall become effective in accordance with Rule 14.05(2)(c).

(b) Appellant's brief shall be due 28 days after the record settles. Failure to file the opening brief within the prescribed time will result in automatic dismissal of the appeal.

(c) Respondent's brief shall be due 28 days after appellant's brief is served and filed. If respondent fails to file a brief within the prescribed time, the appeal will be submitted on appellant's brief and oral argument, and respondent will not be allowed to argue the case.

(2) On review of a decision of the Court of Appeals, when a defendant is charged with a felony and is in custody pending appeal under ORS 138.060(1)(a) and (c) from an order made before trial in a criminal case dismissing or setting aside the accusatory instrument or suppressing evidence:

(a) The case caption of any brief, motion, petition, or other paper filed with the court shall include the words ``EXPEDITED REVIEW UNDER ORS ________" and identifying the statute authorizing the expedited appeal.

(b) If the petitioner on review files a notice of intent to file a brief on the merits and fails to file a brief within the time prescribed by Rule 9.17, the review will be submitted to the court on the petitioner's petition for review, the response to the petition for review (if any), the brief on the merits filed by respondent (if any), the parties' briefs in the Court of Appeals, and oral argument.

(3) Under ORS 138.255(2), if the Supreme Court accepts an appeal pending in the Court of Appeals and briefing has not been completed, the Supreme Court will establish a briefing schedule as necessary.

(4) In all cases subject to this rule:

(a) Absent extraordinary circumstances, the court will not grant an extension of time or reschedule oral argument.

(b) A motion made before oral argument will not toll the time for transmitting the record, filing briefs, or hearing oral argument.

On direct judicial review of an order of the Energy Facility Siting Council under ORS 469.403:

(c) No party shall file a reply brief.

(4) Except as prescribed in ORS 469.403(6), (7), and (8), the court shall not grant a continuance or extension for transmitting the record or filing briefs as specified in this rule, or for the time set for oral argument.

(5) A motion made before oral argument will not toll the time for transmitting the record, filing briefs, or hearing oral argument.

(1) As used in this rule, ``costs'' includes costs and disbursements. ``Allowance'' of costs refers to the determination by the court that a party is entitled to claim costs. ``Award'' of costs is the determination by the court of the amount that a party who has been allowed costs is entitled to recover.

(2) The court will designate a prevailing party and determine whether the prevailing party is allowed costs at the time that the court issues its decision.¹

(3) When an allowance of costs is dependent on identification of a party as a prevailing party, the appellant or petitioner (or cross-appellant or cross-petitioner, as appropriate) is the prevailing party only if the court reverses or substantially modifies the judgment or order from which the appeal or judicial review was taken. Otherwise, the respondent (or cross-respondent, as appropriate) is the prevailing party.²

(4) When a party prevails on appeal or on review and the case is remanded for further proceedings in which the party who ultimately will prevail remains to be determined, the court may allow costs to abide the outcome of the case. If the court allows costs to abide the outcome of the case, the prevailing party shall claim its costs within the time and in the manner prescribed in this rule. The appellate court may determine the amount of costs under this subsection, and may condition the actual award of costs on the ultimate outcome of the case. In that circumstance, the award of costs shall not be included in the appellate judgment, but shall be awarded by the court or tribunal on remand in favor of the prevailing party on appeal or review, if that party also prevails on remand, and shall be awarded against the party designated on appeal or review as the party liable for costs.

(5) (a) A party seeking to recover costs shall file a statement of costs and disbursements within 21 days after the date of the decision. The filing of a petition for review or a petition for reconsideration does not suspend the time for filing the statement of costs and disbursements.

(b) A party need only file the original statement of costs and disbursements, without copies, but accompanied by proof of service showing that a copy of the statement was served on every other party to the appeal or judicial review.

(c) A party objecting to a statement of costs and disbursements shall file objections within 14 days after the date of service of the statement. A reply, if any, shall be filed within 14 days after the date of service of the objections. The original objection or reply shall be filed with proof of service and eight copies in the Supreme Court, or the original and five copies in the Court of Appeals.

(d) A statement of costs and disbursements or objections or a reply shall be verified only if required by statute.³

(6) (a) Whether a brief is printed or reproduced by other methods, the party allowed costs is entitled to recover 10 cents per page for the number of briefs required to be filed or actually filed, whichever is less, plus two copies for each party served and two copies for each party on whose behalf the brief was filed.

(b) If the prevailing party who has been allowed costs has paid for copies of audio or video tapes in lieu of a transcript or incident to preparing a transcript, the party is entitled to recover the cost of the audio or video tapes.

(c) (i) For the purposes of awarding the prevailing party fee under ORS 20.190(1)(a), an appeal to the Court of Appeals and review by the Supreme Court shall be considered as one continuous appeal process and only one prevailing party fee per party, or parties appearing jointly, shall be awarded.

(ii) The prevailing party fee will be awarded only to a party who has appeared on the appeal or review.

(iii) A prevailing party is not entitled to claim more than one prevailing party fee, nor may the court award more than one prevailing party fee against a nonprevailing party, regardless of the number of parties in the action.⁴

(d) If a prevailing party who has been allowed costs timely files a statement of costs and disbursements and no objections are filed, the court will award costs in the amount claimed, except when the entity from whom costs are sought is not a party to the proceeding or when the court is without authority to award particular costs claimed.

(e) If a prevailing party who has been allowed costs untimely files a statement of costs and disbursements, that party is entitled to recover the party's filing or first appearance fee and the prevailing party fee under ORS 20.190(1).

(f) If a prevailing party who has been allowed costs does not file a statement of costs and disbursements, the court shall award that party's filing or first appearance fee and the prevailing party fee under ORS 20.190(1) as part of the appellate judgment.

(7) Parties liable for payment of costs and disbursements shall be jointly and severally liable.

(1) This rule governs the procedure for petitioning for attorney fees in all cases except the recovery of compensation and expenses of court-appointed counsel under ORS 138.500(3).¹

(2) A petition for attorney fees shall be served and filed within 21 days after the date of decision. The filing of a petition for review or a petition for reconsideration does not suspend the time for filing the petition for attorney fees.

(3) When a party prevails on appeal or on review and the case is remanded for further proceedings in which the party who ultimately will prevail remains to be determined, the prevailing party on appeal or review may petition the appellate court for attorney fees within the time and in the manner provided in this rule.² If the appellate court determines an amount of attorney fees under this subsection, it may condition the actual award of attorney fees on the ultimate outcome of the case. In that circumstance, an award of attorney fees shall not be included in the appellate judgment, but shall be awarded by the court or tribunal on remand in favor of the prevailing party on appeal or review, if that party also prevails on remand, and shall be awarded against the party designated on appeal or review as the party liable for attorney fees.

(4) When the Supreme Court denies a petition for review, a petition for attorney fees for preparing the petition for review or a response to the petition for review shall be filed in the Supreme Court.

(5) (a) A petition shall state the total amount of attorney fees claimed and the authority relied on for claiming the fees. The petition shall be supported by a statement of facts showing the total amount of attorney time involved, the amount of time devoted to each task, the reasonableness of the amount of time claimed, the hourly rate at which time is claimed, and the reasonableness of the hourly rate.

(b) If a petition requests attorney fees pursuant to a statute, the petition shall address any factors, including, as relevant, those factors identified in ORS 20.075(1) and (2) or ORS 20.105(1), that the court may consider in determining whether and to what extent to award attorney fees.³

(6) Objections to a petition shall be served and filed within 14 days after the date the petition is filed. A reply, if any, shall be served and filed within 14 days after the date of service of the objections.

(7) A party to a proceeding under this rule may request findings regarding the facts and legal criteria that relate to any claim or objection concerning attorney fees. A party requesting findings must state in the caption of the petition, objection, or reply that the party is requesting findings pursuant to this rule.⁴ A party's failure to request findings in a petition, objection or reply in the form specified in this rule constitutes a waiver of any objection to the absence of findings to support the court's decision.

(8) The original of any petition, objections or reply shall be filed with the Administrator, accompanied by five copies if filed in the Court of Appeals and eight copies if filed in the Supreme Court, together with proof of service on all other parties to the appeal, judicial review or proceeding.

(9) In the absence of timely filed objections to a petition under this rule, the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, respectively, will allow attorney fees in the amount sought in the petition, except in cases in which:

(a) The entity from whom fees are sought was not a party to the proceeding; or

(b) The Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals is without authority to award fees.

(b) Filing a petition for review or a motion or petition for reconsideration does not suspend the time for filing the request for certification of compensation, costs, and expenses.

(c) The court may extend the time for filing the request for certification or grant relief for failure timely to file a request for certification, for good cause shown. If a request for certification is filed after issuance of the appellate judgment, extraordinary circumstances excusing the filing of the late request for certification must be shown.

(ii) In a case of original jurisdiction in the appellate court, in addition to the documents specified in clause (i) above, an order denying, dismissing, or allowing without opinion the petition or other document invoking the court's jurisdiction. An order allowing a petition for an alternative writ of mandamus or writ of habeas corpus is not a decision within the meaning of this rule.

(c) ``Designation of prevailing party and allowance of costs'' means that portion of a decision indicating, when relevant, which party prevailed before the appellate court, whether costs are allowed, and, if so, which party or parties are responsible for costs.

(d) ``Final order'' means that portion of the appellate judgment ordering payment of costs or attorney fees in a sum certain by specified parties or directing entry of judgment in favor of the Judicial Department for unpaid appellate court filing fees, or both.

(a) With respect to appeals from circuit court or Tax Court, on the date that the Administrator sends a copy of the appellate judgment to the court below.

(b) With respect to judicial review of administrative agency proceedings, on the date that the Administrator sends a copy of the appellate judgment to the administrative agency.

(c) With respect to original jurisdiction proceedings, within the time or on the date specified in the court's decision or, if no time period or date is specified, on the date of entry of the appellate judgment. When the effective date is specified in the court's decision, the decision is effective on that date notwithstanding the date the appellate judgment issues [under subsection (3) of this rule].

(3) The Administrator shall prepare the appellate judgment, enter the appellate judgment in the register, send a copy of the appellate judgment with the court's seal affixed thereto to the court or administrative agency from which the appeal or judicial review was taken, and send a copy of the appellate judgment to each of the parties.

(a) With respect to a decision of the Court of Appeals, the Administrator will not issue the appellate judgment for a period of 35 days after the decision to allow time for a petition for review pursuant to ORS 2.520 and Rule 9.05. If a petition for review is filed, the appellate judgment will not issue until the petition is resolved.

(b) With respect to an order of the Supreme Court denying review or a decision of the Supreme Court, the Administrator will not issue the appellate judgment for a period of 21 days after the order or decision to allow time for a petition for reconsideration under Rule 9.25 or a petition for attorney fees or submission of a statement of costs and disbursements under Rules 13.05 and 13.10.

(c) If one or more statements of costs and disbursements, petitions for attorney fees, or motions or petitions for reconsideration are filed, the Administrator will not issue the appellate judgment until all statements of costs and disbursements, petitions for attorney fees, or petitions for reconsideration are determined by order of the court.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this subsection, a party may request immediate issuance of the appellate judgment based on a showing that no party intends to file a petition for review, petition for attorney fees, or any other thing requiring a judicial ruling.

(4) (a) The money judgment portion of an appellate judgment for costs, attorney fees, or both, in favor of a party other than the Oregon Judicial Department that has been entered in the judgment docket of a circuit court may be satisfied in the circuit court in the manner prescribed in ORS 18.400, ORS 18.410, or other applicable law.

(ii) If requested by the party and upon payment of the certification fee, the Administrator shall issue a certificate showing the fact of satisfaction of the money judgment. As requested by the party, the Administrator shall issue a certificate to the party, to the court or administrative agency to which a copy of the appellate judgment was sent, or to both.

(ii) After the first settlement conference is held, any party may withdraw from the program, except that the Director may require the parties to attend one or more additional conferences as reasonable and necessary to facilitate a settlement. If the Director requires the parties to attend one or more additional conferences, the neutral's fee for any additional conference will be paid by the program and not by the parties.

(2) Supervising Judge and Program Director

(a) The Chief Judge shall have overall responsibility for the program but may appoint a supervising judge and a program director for the program.

(b) If a supervising judge is appointed, the supervising judge shall have the powers needed to administer the program. The Chief Judge, and the supervising judge if one is appointed, may delegate authority to the program director.

(c) If the Chief Judge, or the supervising judge if one is appointed, serves as a judge or judge pro tempore of the Court of Appeals, the Chief Judge or supervising judge may not participate in the consideration of any case in which the judge is aware of confidential information concerning the case obtained from the program.

(d) If a judge or judge pro tempore of the Court of Appeals serves as the neutral in a case and the case does not settle and proceeds in the Court of Appeals, that judge shall not thereafter participate in any way in the case. Further, such judge shall take steps as necessary to insure that the judge does not disclose to other judges or to court staff any communication from the settlement conference.

(3) Neutrals

(a) The Chief Judge shall determine the responsibilities and qualifications of neutrals to be provided by the program and shall approve the neutrals selected for the program. The supervising judge, if one is appointed, or program director will assign neutrals for individual cases.

(b) A neutral shall not act in any other capacity in the case.

(4) Abeyance of Appeal

(a) On assignment of a case to the program, the court will hold preparation of the transcript and the record, and briefing, in abeyance for a period of 120 days from the date of [filing of the notice of appeal] the notice of assignment of the case to the program. During that time, a party to the appeal may file an amended designation of record. A party wishing to hold in abeyance any other aspect of the appeal or seeking an extension of time to complete any other task required by law or by the Rules of Appellate Procedure must file an appropriate motion with the court.¹

(b) If a respondent files a motion to dismiss the appeal when the case is being held in abeyance, in addition to serving a copy of the motion on all parties to the appeal, the respondent shall serve a copy of the motion on the program director accompanied by a letter of transmittal stating whether respondent prefers that the motion to dismiss be decided before the case proceeds in the program. The director may direct that the case proceed in the program or may terminate the referral. If the director terminates the referral and if the court denies the motion to dismiss, the case will be re-referred to the program.

[(b)](c) The Chief Judge may reactivate a case held in abeyance at any time:

(i) At the request of the program director pursuant to the request of a party or on the director's own motion; or

(ii) On motion of a party showing good cause for reactivating the appeal. In addition to serving a copy of the motion on all other parties to the appeal, a party filing a motion to reactivate shall serve a copy of the motion on the program director.

(5) Submission of Information

The parties may be required to submit information to facilitate the screening of cases for the program or the program settlement conference. The parties shall submit this information in a timely manner to the program director or the neutral as designated in the request. Each party also shall submit the requested information to the other parties, with the exception of material that is designated by the party as confidential, which shall be treated by the program director or the neutral as confidential pursuant to subsection (6) of this rule.

(6) Confidentiality

(a) Program settlement conferences are subject to ORS 36.210 to ORS 36.238.

(b) All materials submitted to the supervising judge or to the neutral and all materials created by the supervising judge or the neutral that pertain to a program settlement conference and are not a part of the record on appeal shall be maintained separately from the record of the case. These materials shall not be subject to disclosure, except as the law may require or as the parties and the supervising judge may all agree. The materials referred to in this paragraph shall be destroyed at the time and in the manner prescribed by the policy adopted by the Administrator pursuant to the Task Force on Records Retention.

(c) The supervising judge or program director may request the parties or the neutral or both to provide oral and written evaluations of the case settlement process. The materials referred to in paragraph (6)(b), and oral and written evaluations of the case settlement process, may be used to evaluate the program. Any evaluation of the program, whether disseminated to the appellate courts or to the public, shall not disclose specific case identifying information.

(7) Neutral's Fees

(a) There shall be a fee for the neutral's services in conducting a settlement conference. The amount of the fee shall be $300 for workers' compensation cases and $500 for all other cases for up to six hours of the neutral's actual mediation time. The parties to the appeal shall share the cost of the neutral's fee equally and shall pay the fee directly to the neutral or, if instructed by the Director, to the Judicial Department no later than the first settlement conference.

(b) If a settlement conference involves a total of more than six hours of actual mediation time and the parties agree to extend the settlement conference, the parties will compensate the neutral for additional time at the rate of $125 per hour.

(c) The Chief Judge or the Chief Judge's designee may waive or defer payment of the neutral's fee on motion of a party based on a showing that the party is financially unable to pay the fee without substantial economic hardship in providing basic economic necessities to the party or the party's dependent family. If liability for payment of a party's share of the neutral's fee is waived or deferred, that party's portion of the neutral fee shall be paid by the program from funds appropriated to the program for that purpose.

(d) When a settlement conference is conducted by a neutral, an administrative law judge, ``Plan B'' retired judge, or other person who does not accept a fee for the services, the parties shall pay a settlement conference fee equal to the amount of the neutral's fee under this subsection. The parties shall pay the fee directly to the Judicial Department to be disposed of as provided by law.

(e) A party whose share of the neutral's fee is deferred and who has not paid the fee by the conclusion of the settlement conference shall remain liable for the unpaid fee, unless the fee is waived following completion of the settlement conference. If a party's share of the neutral's fee has been paid by the Administrator and the party thereafter pays the fee, the fee shall be paid to the Administrator.

(8) Actions Are Not Reviewable

Except as necessary to decide a motion for sanctions under subsection (9) of this rule, the actions of a neutral, a director, or a supervising judge shall not be reviewed by the Court of Appeals or by the Supreme Court.

(9) Sanctions

At the request of the Director, the court may impose sanctions against a party, or counsel for a party, or both, for the failure of the party, or counsel, or both to perform any act required by this rule or by the written policies of the Appellate Settlement Conference Program. Sanctions include but are not necessarily limited to monetary assessments and dismissal of the appeal.

_____________

¹See Rule 3.40 regarding the due date of a motion to correct a transcript filed while an appeal is being held in abeyance pending mediation under this rule.

See ORS 2.560(3).

The trial court erred in declining to give defendant's requested menacing instruction on the ground that menacing is not a lesser-included offense of robbery in the first and second degrees.

A. Preservation of Error

At the close of the evidence, defendant submitted a requested instruction on menacing. (ER-____.) By way of memorandum in support of the requested instruction, defendant argued to the trial court that menacing is necessarily included in the statutory definition of robbery in the first degree (the crime with which defendant was charged) and that the record contained evidence from which a jury could find defendant guilty of the lesser charge and not guilty of the greater charge. (ER-____.) The trial court declined to give the instruction, stating:

``I'm not going to give the requested instruction on menacing. Menacing is not expressly included in the charging instrument and, in my view, is not a statutorily lesser-included offense of the crime of robbery because it does not share all of the same elements as robbery. The prosecutor could have charged defendant with menacing, but didn't. And without a match on the elements of the two offenses, a lesser-included instruction isn't proper.''

(Tr 142.)

B. Standard of Review

The court reviews the trial court's decision either to give or to decline to give a requested jury instruction pursuant to a combination of standards of review. Regarding review of the record to support such an instruction, the court ``review[s] the evidence in the light most favorable to the establishment of facts that would require those instructions.'' State v. Boyce, 120 Or App 299, 302, 852 P2d 276 (1993). Whether the language of the statute defining the lesser offense is necessarily included in the greater offense is a pure question of law, one that the court decides without any particular deference to its resolution below. See State v. Cunningham, 320 Or 47, 57, 880 P2d 43 (1994); State v. Moses, 165 Or App 317, 319, 997 P2d 251 (2000).
