Review of Court of Appeals Order Certifying a Conflict
(A) General
The Supreme Court will review the court of appeals’ order certifying a conflict. If the case

or denial of bail, the Supreme Court will expedite its review.
(B) Clarity of order
If the rule of law upon which the alleged conflict exists is not clearly set forth in the order
certifying a conflict, the Supreme Court may dismiss the case or remand it to the court of
appeals with an order that the court of appeals clarify the issue presented.
(C) Determination of no conflict
If the Supreme Court determines that a conflict does not exist, it will issue an order
dismissing the case.
(D) Determination of conflict
If the Supreme Court determines that a conflict exists, it will issue an order finding a
conflict, identifying those issues raised in the case that will be considered by the Supreme
Court, and ordering those issues to be briefed.
