Rule 18 Voluntary Dismissal

If the parties to an appeal or other proceeding file with the clerk of the appellate court an agreement that the proceeding be dismissed, specifying the terms as to payment of costs, the clerk shall enter an order dismissing the case. An appeal may be dismissed on motion of appellant upon such terms as may be agreed upon by the parties or fixed by the appellate court. In a criminal case, a voluntary dismissal shall also be accompanied by an original waiver of appeal signed by the appellant. No mandate shall issue.
