Expedited Appeals from Magistrate Judge Rulings

D. Haw. CrimLR 57.6

With the exception of CrimLR57.7 governing expedited appeals of detention or release orders, any other provision of these rules notwithstanding, a defendant or the government may file a Notice of an Expedited Appeal to the district judge from any oral or written ruling of the magistrate judge. Such a notice shall bear the caption "Notice of Expedited Appeal" and shall be accompanied by a declaration of counsel setting forth the reasons that such an expedited appeal is necessary, together with proof of service on the opposing party. Upon receipt of the notice, the district judge shall promptly determine whether an expedited appeal is justified. If so, the court shall, to the extent practicable, set an expedited briefing schedule, or order an immediate hearing of the appeal without briefs.
