ORAP 9.30
AUTHORITY OVER MATTERS, INCLUDING MOTIONS, WHEN CASE IS PENDING IN THE SUPREME COURT
(1) The Supreme Court has authority to decide matters, including motions, if the case
is pending in that court. For purposes of this rule, a case is pending in the Supreme Court in the
following circumstances:
(a) If a petition for review is filed, until the Supreme Court finally disposes of
the review proceeding;
(b) If a motion for an extension of time to file a petition for review is filed,
until the Supreme Court denies the motion or, if the Supreme Court allows the motion,
until the time for filing the petition for review expires;
(c) If a motion to hold a case in abeyance pending disposition of another case
in the Supreme Court is filed, until the Supreme Court denies the motion or, if the
Supreme Court grants the motion, until the abeyance period expires.
(2) The Court of Appeals has authority to decide matters, including motions, in an
appeal that was filed in that court in the following circumstances:
(a) If the case is not pending in the Supreme Court, until the appellate
judgment issues.[fn 1]
(b) If the case is pending in the Supreme Court, until the later of these two
events occurs: (1) the time for filing a petition for reconsideration pursuant to ORAP
6.25 expires or (2) if a timely petition for reconsideration is filed, the date the Court of
Appeals disposes of the petition for reconsideration.
(c) In connection with claims for attorney fees, costs and disbursements, and
damages[fn 2] in connection with the proceedings in the Court of Appeals, until the appellate
judgment issues, notwithstanding that the case is pending in the Supreme Court.
(d) If a case is pending in the Supreme Court as to any action of the Court of
Appeals that does not dispose of an appeal, until the appellate judgment issues. In these
circumstances, the Court of Appeals, in its discretion, may proceed with the case or await
disposition by the Supreme Court.
(3) Motions should not be filed simultaneously in both the Supreme Court and Court
of Appeals. If either the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals receives a motion that it determines
should have been filed in the other court, it shall transfer the motion to the other court. In the
event a dispute arises concerning which court should rule on a motion, the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court and the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals may confer and decide which court
will rule on the motion.
