(a) Generally. Any party to the case or a party's fiduciary, which includes a personal representative, Title 14 guardian, conservator, or trustee, who has appeared in the proceeding on behalf of a party, may file a notice of non-participation stating that the party or fiduciary does not intend to actively participate in the appeal. Such a notice may provide that the party or party's fiduciary adopts and agrees to be bound by the appellate positions, filings, representations, actions, and omissions of another party or parties who are identified in the notice.

(b) Time for Filing. A notice of non-participation may be filed in the juvenile court no later than 10 calendar days after the superior court clerk has distributed copies of the notice of appeal or cross-appeal under Rule 603(c). Otherwise, a notice of non-participation must be filed in the appellate court. A party or fiduciary filing a notice of non-participation must serve a copy of the notice on all persons on whom service was made under Rule 603(c).

(c) Effect of Filing. By filing a notice of non-participation, a party or fiduciary does not waive the right to continue to receive orders, notices, or other documents issued by the juvenile court or the appellate court, or service of motions, briefs, notices, or other documents filed by any other party in connection with the appeal. Filing a notice of non-participation does not relieve the party or fiduciary who files it of the obligation to serve upon the remaining parties other documents filed by the party or fiduciary in the juvenile court or the appellate court in connection with the appeal. A notice of non-participation must not be used or relied on as a substitute for a notice of appeal, notice of cross-appeal, petition for review, or cross-petition for review.
