Va. Sup. Ct. R. 5:38
Mediation, Settlement or Withdrawal of Pending Appeal
(a) Upon joint motion of the parties in a civil case, the Court may extend the filing
deadlines under Rule 5:17(a), Rule 5:18(a), or Rule 5:26(c) to enable the parties to pursue
mediation. An order granting such a time extension will specify new filing deadlines or a
deadline for the parties to file a joint progress report.
(b) When a case has been settled or the appeal withdrawn at any time after the notice
of appeal has been filed, it is the duty of counsel to notify the clerk of this Court by filing
a written notice that the case has been settled or the appeal withdrawn. If counsel certifies
that the terms of the settlement or withdrawal require further proceedings in the trial
court, the Court may approve entry of an order of remand.
