RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

1183 

it  was  ﬁled  in  the  district  court.  For  good  cause,  a  Justice 
may  extend  the  time  to  ﬁle  a  jurisdictional  statement  for  a 
period not exceeding 60 days.  An application to extend the 
time  to ﬁle  a  jurisdictional statement  shall  set  out the  basis 
for  jurisdiction  in  this  Court;  identify  the  judgment  sought 
to  be  reviewed;  include  a  copy  of  the  opinion,  any  order  re­
specting rehearing, and the notice of appeal; and set out spe­
ciﬁc  reasons  why  an  extension  of  time  is  justiﬁed.  For  the 
time and manner of presenting the application, see Rules 21, 
22, and 30.  An application to extend the time to ﬁle a juris­
dictional statement is not favored. 

4.  No  more  than  30  days  after  a  case  has  been  placed  on 
the  docket,  an  appellee  seeking  to  ﬁle  a  conditional  cross-
appeal  (i. e.,  a  cross-appeal  that  otherwise  would  be  un­
timely)  shall  ﬁle,  with  proof  of  service  as  required  by  Rule 
29,  a  jurisdictional  statement  that  complies  in  all  respects 
(including  number  of  copies  ﬁled)  with  paragraph  3  of  this 
Rule, except that material already reproduced in the appen­
dix  to  the  opening  jurisdictional  statement  need  not  be  re­
produced  again.  A  cross-appealing  appellee  shall  pay  the 
Rule  38  docket  fee  or  submit  a  motion  for  leave  to  proceed 
in forma pauperis.  The cover of the cross-appeal shall indi­
cate clearly that it is a conditional cross-appeal.  The cross-
appeal  then  will  be  placed  on  the  docket.  It  is  the  cross­
appellant’s  duty  to  notify  all  cross-appellees  promptly,  on  a 
form supplied by the Clerk, of the date of ﬁling, the date the 
cross-appeal  was  placed  on  the  docket,  and  the  docket  num­
ber  of  the  cross-appeal.  The  notice  shall  be  served  as  re­
quired  by  Rule  29.  A  cross-appeal  may  not  be  joined  with 
any other pleading, except that any motion for leave to pro­
ceed  in  forma  pauperis  shall  be  attached.  The  time  to  ﬁle 
a cross-appeal will not be extended. 

5.  After  a  notice  of  appeal  has  been  ﬁled  in  the  district 
court,  but  before  the  case  is  placed  on  this  Court’s  docket, 
the parties may dismiss the appeal by stipulation ﬁled in the 
district  court,  or  the  district  court  may  dismiss  the  appeal 
on  the  appellant’s  motion,  with  notice  to  all  parties.  If  a 
notice  of  appeal  has  been  ﬁled,  but  the  case  has  not  been
