GENERAL ORDER 92-1 IN RE THE MATTER OF THE ACCELERATING REVIEW OF ADULT SENTENCES AND JUVENILE DISPOSITIONS

2. An appeal in which the only decision challenged is the propriety of the disposition in a juvenile offense proceeding will be reviewed under the rules provided in RAP 18.13.

The court shall notify the parties of the schedule for perfecting and arguing the propriety of the juvenile offense disposition, pursuant to RAP 18.13.
