RULE 16.13
           PERSONAL RESTRAINT PETITION--PROCEDURE
                  AFTER REFERENCE HEARING

    After a reference hearing and the findings of fact and appellate court
files have been returned to the appellate court, the Chief Judge will
dismiss the petition if the issues presented are frivolous. If the petition
is not frivolous, the Chief Judge will refer the petition to a panel of
judges for determination on the merits. The appellate court may, on motion
of a party, order the preparation of and transmittal to the appellate court
of a part or all of the record of the reference proceeding. The appellate
court order will define at whose expense the record is prepared. Oral
argument is governed by rule 16.11(c).
