(a) Relief under This Title. A person may seek relief, other than a decision of the case on the merits, by motion as provided in Title 17. In a criminal appeal where the defendant is represented by counsel, the defendant may file only a motion related to a statement of additional grounds for review or the representation of counsel. Other motions submitted by a defendant who is represented by counsel will be placed in the file without action. Any such action is not subject to the provisions of rule 17.7.(b) Motion on the Merits. A party may seek a decision on the merits by motion as provided in rule 18.14. The rules in Title 17 apply to a motion for a decision on the merits only to the extent provided in rule 18.14.Wash. R.
