Supervision of Procedure

The supervision and control of the proceedings shall be in the court having appellate jurisdiction from the time the appellate matter is filed, or ear- lier, if appropriate, and, except as otherwise pro- vided in these rules, any motion the purpose of which is to complete or perfect the record of the proceedings below for presentation on appeal shall be made to the court in which the appeal is pending. The court may, on its own motion or upon motion of any party, modify or vacate any order made by the trial court, or a judge thereof, in relation to the prosecution of an appeal. It may also, for example, on its own motion or upon motion of any party: (1) order a judge to take any action necessary to complete the trial court record for the proper presentation of the appeal; (2) con- sider any matter in the record of the proceedings below necessary for the review of the issues pre- sented by any appeal, regardless of whether the matter has been included in any party appendix; (3) order improper matter stricken from a brief or appendix; (4) order a stay of any proceedings ancillary to a case on appeal; (5) order that a party for good cause shown may file a late appeal, petition for certification, brief or any other docu- ment unless the court lacks jurisdiction to allow the late filing; (6) order that a hearing be held to determine whether it has jurisdiction over a pending matter; (7) order an appeal to be dis- missed unless the appellant complies with specific orders of the trial court, submits to the process of the trial court, or is purged of contempt of the trial court; (8) remand any pending matter to the trial court for the resolution of factual issues where necessary; or (9) correct technical or other minor mistakes in a published opinion which do not affect the rescript.
