Joinder of Parties on Appeal
(a) Appellants. If two or more parties are entitled to appeal from a
judgment, order, or other determination and their interests are such as to make their
joinder in appeal practicable, they may file and serve a joint notice of appeal in
accordance with Rules 3 and 4; or they may join in appeal after having timely taken
separate appeals by filing notice of joinder in the office of the clerk of superior court
and serving copies thereof upon all other parties, or in a criminal case they may give
a joint oral notice of appeal.
(b) Appellees. Two or more appellees whose interests are such as to make
their joinder on appeal practicable may, by filing notice of joinder in the office of the
clerk of superior court and serving copies thereof upon all other parties, so join.
(c) Procedure after Joinder. After joinder, the parties proceed as a
single appellant or appellee. Filing and service of items by and upon joint appellants
or appellees is as provided by Rule 26(e).
