(The Statement of Case is not a jurisdictional document, but it is important to the proper and
efficient processing of the appeal by the appellate courts. The "jurisdictional statement" section
is intended to provide sufficient information for the appellate court to easily determine whether
the order or judgment is appealable and if the appeal is timely. The nature of the proceedings
below and the notice of appeal determine the jurisdiction of the appellate court. The sections
requesting information about the issues litigated in the lower court or tribunal, and the issues
proposed to be raised on appeal are for the court's information, and do not expand or limit the
issues that might be addressed on appeal. Likewise, the section asking counsel to identify and
prior or pending appeals from the same case, and any separate appeals that raise similar issues is
intended to provide more information about the procedural history of the case and to ensure that
the court has early notice of other pending related matters in case consolidation is appropriate
