Rule 1.17. Case Management, Assignment, and Fast Track Docket
(III) Fast Track. All appeals--whether now in the Supreme Court or in the Court of Civil Appeals--which are found suitable by the court to which they are assigned for disposition by the fast track docket method may be placed on that docket and decided promptly by a short memorandum order. The fast track docket assignments may, in both courts, be made without an agreement of the parties.
The placement of an appeal on an fast track docket is within the discretion of the appellate court, and the court may decline to place an appeal on the fast track docket although the parties agree to such placement. The court may sua sponte place an appeal on the fast track docket. The advanced case may be set for oral presentation with or without any record or briefs.
While preparation of written opinions or memorandum opinions is not required of cases assigned to the Fast Track Docket, it is required that an order be entered in each case briefly explaining (with citation of applicable authority) the reason for the Court's action. Where the case is to be retried, the explanation of the Court's decision should be sufficiently clear for the guidance of the trial court (and counsel).
These rules shall otherwise apply to all appeals on the fast track docket unless the Supreme Court shall by rule provide otherwise.
