Rule 57.6. Determination of Direct Appeal

(a) Ruling on Merits. If the Supreme Court determines that it has probable jurisdiction, the Court:

(1) may order full briefing under Rule 55;

(2) may set the case for submission under Rule 59; and

(3) may render judgment or make an appropriate order under Rule 60.

(b) Rehearing. A motion for rehearing may be filed with the Supreme Court clerk within 15 days after the Court renders judgment or makes an order disposing of the direct appeal. The motion must clearly state the issues relied on for rehearing.

Committee Notes

Comment to 1997 change: This is former Rule 140. The rule is amended without substantive change except subdivision 57.5 is amended to make clear that no party to the direct appeal may pursue the appeal in the court of appeals while the direct appeal is pending, but allowing 10 days to perfect a subsequent appeal.
