(a) Summary Affirmance. After service of the initial
brief in appeals under rule 9.110, 9.130, or 9.140,
or after service of the answer brief if a cross-appeal has
been filed, the court may summarily affirm the order to
be reviewed if the court finds that no preliminary basis
for reversal has been demonstrated.
(b) Summary Reversal. After service of the answer
brief in appeals under rule 9.110, 9.130, or 9.140, or
after service of the reply brief if a cross-appeal has
been filed, the court may summarily reverse the order
to be reviewed if the court finds that no meritorious
basis exists for affirmance and the order otherwise is
subject to reversal.
(c) Motions Not Permitted. This rule may be invoked
only on the court's own motion. A party may not
request summary disposition.
