R. 2:8-2. — Dismissal of Appeals: Order; Stipulation

The appellate court may at any time on its own motion or that of a party dismiss the appeal or petition for certification. Appeals and petitions for certification in class actions and in actions involving the status of minors shall not be dismissed without an order of the appellate court; all other appeals and petitions may be dismissed upon the filing of a stipulation by the parties agreeing thereto. An appellant may dismiss the appeal without consent at any time before the first brief on appeal is filed. Such dismissal shall be accompanied by a proof of service thereof on all respondents.
