                         RULE 12.2
                   DISPOSITION ON REVIEW

    The appellate court may reverse, affirm, or modify the decision being
reviewed and take any other action as the merits of the case and the
interest of justice may require. Upon issuance of the mandate of the
appellate court as provided in rule 12.5, the action taken or decision made
by the appellate court is effective and binding on the parties to the
review and governs all subsequent proceedings in the action in any court,
unless otherwise directed upon recall of the mandate as provided in rule
12.9, and except as provided in rule 2.5(c)(2). After the mandate has
issued, the trial court may, however, hear and decide postjudgment motions
otherwise authorized by statute or court rule so long as those motions do
not challenge issues already decided by the appellate court.
