opinion, or an order ruling on a motion, own motion matter, petition for attorney fees, or
statement of costs and disbursements, including an order of the Chief Judge or Motions
Department on reconsideration of a ruling of the appellate commissioner under ORAP 7.55(4)(c)
or an order of the appellate commissioner if it is designated a "summary determination," as
specified in ORAP 7.55(4)(d). Except as provided in ORAP 7.55(4)(d), a decision of the
appellate commissioner may be challenged only by a petition or motion for reconsideration in the

filing a petition for review shall begin to run on expiration of the extension of
time.

for reconsideration, the petition for review will not be submitted to the Supreme
Court until the Court of Appeals issues its written disposition of the petition for
reconsideration.

has issued, the party must file with the petition a motion to recall the appellate
judgment. The petition and the motion must be filed within a reasonable time
