Rule 84-11. Papers To Be Filed by Appellant and Appellee in an Appeal After Certification

(a) Within ten days of filing the appeal, the appellant shall also file a docketing statement pursuant to Section 63-4 (a) (4) and a designation of the proposed contents of the clerk appendix pursuant to Section 63-4 (a) (2). The parties shall not file other Section 63-4 papers on a certified appeal without permission of the Supreme Court.

(b) Within ten days of the filing of the appeal, the appellee may file a statement of alternative grounds for affirmance, provided that the appellee briefed such alternative grounds in the Appellate Court. If such alternative grounds for affirmance were not raised in the Appellate Court, the appellee seeking to raise them in the Supreme Court must move for permission to do so prior to the filing of the appellee's brief.

(c) Within thirty days of the filing of the appeal, any party to the appeal may seek permission to present for review: (1) adverse rulings or decisions which, in the interest of judicial economy, should be considered in the event of a remand for further proceedings, provided that such party briefed such issues in the Appellate Court and (2) any claim that the relief afforded by the Appellate Court in its judgment should be modified, provided the arguments underlying such claim were briefed in the Appellate Court or raised in a motion for reconsideration.
