Iowa R. App. P. 6.151
Proper form of review
6.151(1) General rule. If any case is initiated by a notice of appeal, an application for
interlocutory appeal, an application for discretionary review, or a petition for writ of certiorari
and the appellate court determines another form of review was the proper one, the case will not
be dismissed, but will proceed as though the proper form of review had been requested.
6.151(2) Appellate court may request further action. The appellate court may treat the
documents upon which the action was initiated as seeking the proper form of review and,
in appropriate cases, may order the parties to file jurisdictional statements or file documents
supporting the proper form of discretionary review.
6.151(3) Opposition. This rule does not preclude opposing parties from filing a motion to
challenge the form of review.
6.151(4) Timing. This rule does not extend the time for initiating a case.
