(a) Docketing; Briefing; Oral Argument. On receipt of a notice of appeal from a district judge’s decision under Rule 173 of the rules relating to district courts, together with a certified copy of the district judge’s opinion, the clerk of the appellate courts must docket the appeal in the Court of Appeals. No docketing statement is required. Counsel for the minor must file the appellant’s brief no later than 7 days after the date the appeal is docketed. No amicus curiae briefs will be accepted. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court of Appeals, no oral argument will be held.
(b) Expedited Decision. The Court of Appeals must expedite the determination of an appeal under this rule to the extent necessary to protect the rights of the minor. The decision of the Court of Appeals must be filed no later than 14 days after the appeal is docketed.
