Rule 12-317. Joint or consolidated appeals.

A. Joint appeals. When two (2) or more parties are entitled to appeal from a single judgment or order, and their interests are such as to make joinder practicable, they may file a joint notice of appeal. When two (2) or more parties have filed separate timely notices of appeal from a single judgment or order, the appeals may be joined by order of the appellate court. The parties then proceed on appeal as a single appellant. B. Consolidated appeals. When two (2) or more parties to the same case or different cases have filed separate timely notices of appeal, the appeals may be consolidated by order of the appellate court. The appellate court may consolidate appeals on its own motion or on motion of a party. When requesting consolidation, a party shall specify by motion the specific aspects of the appeal, such as the record, the briefing, or the oral argument, that should be consolidated.
