RULE 2.4                                               
                 HOW TO INITIATE AN APPEAL                                       
                                                                                 
    (a) Review Initiated by Filing Notice of Appeal. A party appealing a         
decision subject to these rules must file a notice of appeal in the court        
of limited jurisdiction within the time provided by rule 2.5. This is the        
only jurisdictional requirement for an appeal.                                   
    (b) Filing Fee. The first party to file a notice of appeal shall, at         
the time the notice is filed, pay the statutory filing fee to the clerk of       
the court of limited jurisdiction in which the notice is filed, unless the       
party filing the notice is excused from paying a filing fee by statute or        
by the constitution.                                                             
    (c) Notice and Service. A party filing a notice of appeal shall              
immediately serve a copy of the notice on all other parties. The clerk of        
the court of limited jurisdiction shall immediately upon filing of a notice      
of appeal and payment of the filing fee, if required, file a copy of the         
notice with the superior court.
