RULE 17.2
                    WHO DECIDES A MOTION


    (a) Generally. The judges determine (1) a motion in a
brief, (2) a motion to modify a ruling by a commissioner or
the clerk, (3) a motion for reconsideration of a decision,
(4) a motion to recall the mandate, except for a motion made
to correct an inadvertently issued mandate, and (5) a motion
to publish. All other motions may be determined initially by
a commissioner or the clerk of the appellate court.

    (b) Reference to the Judges. A commissioner or clerk may
refer a motion to the judges for determination. If the
motion is referred to the judges, the commissioner or clerk
will give notice of the reference to all persons entitled to
notice of the motion.

    (c) Transfer by Supreme Court to Court of Appeals. A
commissioner or clerk of the Supreme Court may transfer a
motion for discretionary review of a trial court decision to
the Court of Appeals for determination.
