RULE 2. SUSPENSION OF RULES
In the interest of expediting decision, or for other good cause shown, the supreme court, except as otherwise provided in Rule 26(b), may suspend the requirements or provisions of any of these rules in a particular case on application of a party or on its own motion and may order proceedings in accordance with its direction.
On its own or a party's motion, the supreme court may--to expedite its decision or for other good cause--suspend any provision of these rules in a particular case and order proceedings as it directs, except as otherwise provided in Rule 26(b).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Rule 2 was amended, effective March 1, 2003.
This rule is substantially the same as Fed.R.App.P. 2, and is intended to make clear the power of the Court court to expedite cases of pressing concern to the public or to litigants.
Rule 2 was amended, effective March 1, 2003, in response to the December 1, 1998, amendments to Fed.R.App.P. 2. The language and organization of the rule were changed to make the rule more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules.
