NEUMANN, Justice,
concurring specially.
[¶30] It is the clear legislative intent in section 25-03.1-29, N.D.C.C., to provide an expedited appellate process for mental health hearings. It is the clear judicial intent in Rule 2.1, N.D.R.App.P., to facilitate an expedited appellate process. It is illogical to permit the happenstance of general language in Rule 4, N.D.R.App.P., to frustrate that intent. I, too, would hold the notice of appeal untimely, and dismiss'.
[¶ 31] William A. Neumann
