Rule 2.05: Multiple Appeals

(a)   When Multiple Appeals Must Be Docketed Together. When more than one appeal is taken to an appellate court from judgments or orders entered at or about the same time in a district court case, or from a consolidation of district court cases, the appeals must be docketed together and only one docket fee is required. Thereafter, the record, briefs, and oral argument must proceed as consolidated unless the court orders a separation of the appeals.

(b)   Separate Appeal Required After Docketing. An appeal from a judgment or order entered in the district court after an appeal in the same case is docketed in an appellate court must be docketed as a separate appeal, subject to consolidation under Rule 2.06.
