RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 10.10
           STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL GROUNDS FOR REVIEW


      (a) Statement Permitted. A defendant/appellant in a review
 of a criminal case may file a pro se statement of additional
 grounds for review to identify and discuss those matters which
 the defendant/appellant believes have not been adequately
 addressed by the brief filed by the defendant/appellant’s
 counsel.

      (b) Length and Legibility.  The statement, which shall be
 limited to no more than 50 pages, may be submitted in
 handwriting so long as it is legible and can be reproduced by
 the clerk.

      (c) Citations; Identification of Errors.   Reference to
 the record and citation to authorities are not necessary or
 required, but the appellate court will not consider a
 defendant/appellant’s statement of additional grounds for
 review if it does not inform the court of the nature and
 occurrence of alleged errors.  Except as required in cases in
 which counsel files a motion to withdraw as set forth in RAP
 18.3(a)(2), the appellate court is not obligated to search the
 record in support of claims made in a defendant/appellant’s
 statement of additional grounds for review.

      (d) Time for Filing.  The statement of additional grounds
 for review should be filed within 30 days after service upon
 the defendant/appellant of the brief prepared by
 defendant/appellant’s counsel and the mailing of a notice from
 the clerk of the appellate court advising the
 defendant/appellant of the substance of this rule.  The clerk
 will advise all parties if the defendant/appellant files a
 statement of additional grounds for review.

     (e) Report of Proceedings.  If within 30 days after service
of the brief prepared by defendant/appellant’s counsel,
defendant/appellant requests a copy of the verbatim report of
proceedings from defendant/appellant’s counsel, counsel should
promptly serve a copy of the verbatim report of proceedings on
the defendant/appellant and should file in the appellate court
proof of such service.  The pro se statement of additional
grounds for review should then be filed within 30 days after
service of the verbatim report of proceedings.  The cost for
producing and mailing the verbatim report of proceedings for an
indigent defendant/appellant will be reimbursed to counsel from
the Office of Public Defense in accordance with Title 15 of
these rules.

     (f) Additional Briefing.  The appellate court may, in the
 exercise of its discretion, request additional briefing from
 counsel to address issues raised in the defendant/appellant’s
 pro se statement.
