RULE 5.1
                   REVIEW INITIATED BY FILING NOTICE OF APPEAL
                                  OR NOTICE FOR
                              DISCRETIONARY REVIEW


    (a) Review Initiated by Notice. A party seeking review of a trial court
decision reviewable as a matter of right must file a notice of appeal. A party
seeking review of a trial court decision subject to discretionary review must
file a notice for discretionary review. Each notice must be filed with the trial
court within the time provided by rule 5.2.

    (b) Filing Fee. The first party to file a notice of appeal or notice for
discretionary review must, at the time the notice is filed, pay the statutory
filing fee to the clerk of the superior court in which the notice is filed.  For
cases that were tried together or consolidated for trial, only one filing fee
need be paid, notwithstanding that separate notices are filed for each case.

    (c) Incorrectly Designated Notice. A notice for discretionary review of a
decision which is appealable will be given the same effect as a notice of
appeal. A notice of appeal of a decision which is not appealable will be given
the same effect as a notice for discretionary review.

    (d) Cross Review. Cross review means review initiated by a party already a
respondent in an appeal or a discretionary review. A party seeking cross review
must file a notice of appeal or a notice for discretionary review within the
time allowed by rule 5.2(f).

    (e) Final Judgment Entered After Notice for Discretionary Review Has Been
Filed. If a final judgment is entered after a notice for discretionary review is
filed, a party seeking review of the final judgment must file a notice of appeal
from the judgment within the time provided by rule 5.2.

    (f) Order Entered After Review Accepted. If a party wants to seek review of
a trial court decision entered pursuant to rule 7.2 after review in the same
case has been accepted by the appellate court, the party must initiate a
separate review of the decision by timely filing a notice of appeal or notice
for discretionary review, except as provided by rules 2.4(c), (f) and (g),
8.1(h), 8.2(b), and 9.13.
