RULE 4.1
                 AUTHORITY OF COURTS PENDING APPEAL


    (a) Superior Court. After a notice of appeal has been filed, the
superior court has authority to perform all acts necessary to secure the
fair and orderly review of the case.

    (b) Court of Limited Jurisdiction. After a notice of appeal has been
filed, and while the case is on appeal, the court of limited jurisdiction
has authority to act in a case only to the extent provided in these rules,
unless the superior court limits or expands that authority in a particular case.

    (c) Questions Relating to Indigency. The court of limited jurisdiction
has authority to decide questions relating to indigency.

    (d) Attorney Fees and Costs. When a party is entitled to an award of
attorney fees or costs, the court of limited jurisdiction has authority to
determine such an award for a party's efforts in the court of limited
jurisdiction. A party may obtain review of a court of limited
jurisdiction's decision on attorney fees or costs in the same review
proceeding as that challenging the judgment without filing a separate
notice of appeal.
