                           RULE CR 4.2
                PROCESS – LIMITED REPRESENTATION


  (a)  An attorney may undertake to provide limited representation
     in accordance with RPC 1.2 to a person involved in a court
     proceeding.

  (b)  Providing limited representation of a person under these
     rules shall not constitute an entry of appearance by the attorney
     for purposes of CR 5(b) and does not authorize or require the
     service or delivery of pleadings, papers or other documents upon
     the attorney under CR 5(b).  Representation of the person by the
     attorney at any proceeding before a judge, magistrate, or other
     judicial officer on behalf of the person constitutes an entry of
     appearance pursuant to RCW 4.28.210 and CR 4(a)(3), except to the
     extent that a limited notice of appearance as provided for under
     CR 70.1 is filed and served prior to or simultaneous with the
     actual appearance.  The attorney’s violation of this Rule may
     subject the attorney to the sanctions provided in CR 11(a).
