84.08. Involuntary Dismissal of Appeal - Notices

(a) After the timely filing of a notice of appeal, if the appellant fails to take the further steps required to secure review of the appeal within the periods of time allowed or as extended, the clerk shall place the case on a dismissal docket. The clerk shall notify all parties that the appeal will be dismissed unless the appellant remedies the default before a specified date. The date shall not be less than 15 days from the date of the notice. If the default is not remedied by that date, an order of dismissal shall be entered.

(b) If the party who is aggrieved by an agency decision fails to file the first brief as required under Rule 84.05, that party shall be given notice as otherwise required in this Rule 84.08. If the party fails to remedy the default, any party aggrieved by the circuit court decision may file a motion in the appellate court requesting that the judgment of the circuit court be vacated.
