Wash. Crim. R. Cts. Ltd. Juris. 9.3

(a) Scope of Rule. This rule applies only to proceedings which are not subject to appellate

review under the Rules for Appeal of Decisions of Courts of Limited Jurisdiction. The

proceedings to which those rules apply are defined by RALJ 1.1.

(b) Failure To Certify Transcript. If the lower court fails, neglects or refuses to make

and certify the transcript within the time allowed, the appellant may make application to the

superior court not later than 21 days after the filing of the notice of appeal and the superior court

shall issue an order to make and certify the transcript.

(c) Dismissal for Want of Prosecution. Upon dismissal of the appeal for failure of

appellant to proceed diligently with the appeal as required, or for any other cause, the judgment

of the lower court shall be enforced by the judge thereof. If, at the time of such dismissal, cash

deposit or appeal bond as required has been furnished and is in the custody of the superior court,

the same shall be returned to the lower court. The lower court shall have power to forfeit the cash

bail or appeal bond and issue execution thereon for breach of any condition under which it is

furnished.

(d) Dismissal on Clerks Motion. In all appeals from courts of limited jurisdiction

wherein there has been no action of record during the 90 days just past, the clerk of the superior

court shall mail notice to the appellant and the lawyers at the addresses contained in the notice of

appeal that such appeal will be dismissed by the court for want of prosecution unless, within

30 days following such mailing, an application in writing is made to the court and good cause

shown why it should be continued as a pending case. If the appeal is dismissed, the clerk of the

court will proceed as in section (c).
