83.02. Transfer on Order of Court of Appeals

    A case disposed of by an opinion, memorandum decision, written order, or order of dismissal in the court of appeals may be transferred to this Court by order of a majority of the participating judges, regular and special, on their own motion or on  application of a party. Transfer may be ordered because of the general interest or importance of a question involved in the case or for the purpose of reexamining existing law.

    Application by a party for such transfer shall be filed within fifteen days of the date on which the opinion, memorandum decision, written order, or order of dismissal is filed.

    No response to an application for transfer shall be filed unless requested by the court, and an order for transfer shall not be granted in the absence of such a request.

    Motions for reconsideration of the court's action in refusing an application for transfer shall not be accepted or filed.
