• Proposed Changes to RAP 5.2 - Time Allowed to File Notice (in Word Format)
• No comments were submitted.

Purpose: This suggested amendment clarifies the current practice of the appellate courts to consider a notice of discretionary review timely if it is filed within 30 days of an order deciding a timely motion for reconsideration of the act that the party filing the notice wants reviewed.  In what appears to be an oversight, the current version of RAP 5.2(b) does not address this situation. This suggested amendment also provides grammatical clarity in the parallel provision of section 5.2(a).
