(1) MOTION FOR 3-JUDGE PANEL. (a) If an
appellant desires the matter to be decided by a 3-judge panel, the
appellant shall file a motion for a 3-judge panel with the notice of
appeal required by s. 809.10 (1) (a) . Service of the appellant’s
motion shall be as provided by s. 809.10 (1) (h).
(b) If a petitioner requesting the court of appeals to exercise
its supervisory jurisdiction or its original jurisdiction to issue
prerogative writs desires the matter to be decided by a 3-judge
panel, the petitioner shall file a motion for a 3-judge panel in the
court of appeals with the petition requesting the court to exercise
its supervisory or original jurisdiction. Service of the petitioner’s
motion shall be provided by traditional methods.
(c) If a petitioner requesting the court of appeals to exercise
its appellate jurisdiction to grant petitions for leave to appeal desires the matter to be decided by a 3-judge panel, the petitioner
shall file a motion for a 3-judge panel in the court of appeals with
the petition for leave to appeal. Service of the petitioner’s motion
shall be as provided in s. 809.50 (1).
(d) If any other party desires the matter to be decided by a 3judge panel, the party must file in the court of appeals a motion
under this rule for a 3-judge panel within 14 days after service of
the notice of appeal or with the response to the petition.
(e) The failure to file a motion under this section waives the
right to request the matter to be decided by a 3-judge panel.
(f) A motion for a 3-judge panel in a case in which the state is
a party shall also be served upon the attorney general. If the motion is filed with a petition for leave to appeal, service on the attorney general shall be provided as in s. 809.50 (1m). The attorney general may file a response to the motion within 11 days after
service.
(2) DECISION ON MOTION FOR 3- JUDGE PANEL. The chief
judge may change or modify his or her decision on a motion that
the matter be decided by a 3-judge panel at any time prior to a decision on the merits of the appeal or petition.
(3) THREE-JUDGE PANEL ON COURT’S OWN MOTION. Whether
or not a motion for a 3-judge panel has been filed, the chief judge
may order that an appeal or petition be decided by a 3-judge panel
at any time prior to a decision on the merits of the appeal or
petition.
(4) MOTION FOR HEARING IN COUNTY OF ORIGIN. If an appellant desires that the appeal be heard in the county where the case
or action originated under s. 752.31 (3), the appellant shall file in
the circuit court, with the notice of appeal required by s. 809.10
(1) (a), a motion requesting a hearing in the county of origin. Service of the appellant’s motion shall be as provided in s. 809.10 (1)
(h). If any other party desires the matter to be heard in the county
of origin, the party must file in the court of appeals a motion
within 14 days after service of the notice of appeal. The failure to
file a motion under this subsection waives the right to request the
appeal be heard in the county where the case or action originated.
