Rule RAP 13.7 - Proceedings After Acceptance of Review(a) Procedure. The procedure in the Supreme Court, after acceptance of review of a decision of the Court of Appeals, is the same as the procedure in the Supreme Court after acceptance of review of a trial court decision, except that (1) the record in the Court of Appeals is the record on review in the Supreme Court, and (2) only the briefs filed in the Court of Appeals and the documents submitted in connection with the motion for discretionary review or petition for review will be considered by the Supreme Court, unless additional briefs are submitted by the parties in accordance with sections (d) and (e) of this rule or are requested by the Supreme Court.(b) Scope of Review. If the Supreme Court accepts review of a Court of Appeals decision, the Supreme Court will review only the questions raised in the motion for discretionary review, if review is sought of an interlocutory decision, or the petition for review and the answer, unless the Supreme Court orders otherwise upon the granting of the motion or petition. The Supreme Court may limit the issues to one or more of those raised by the parties. If the Supreme Court reverses a decision of the Court of Appeals that did not consider all of the issues raised which might support that decision, the Supreme Court will either consider and decide those issues or remand the case to the Court of Appeals to decide those issues.(c) Other Limitations on Scope of Review.
