Practice question
An ordinary appeal is perfected, all other appeal periods expire, and the original record is transmitted. A litigant then asks the RTC to approve a compromise relying solely on Rule 41's pretransmittal residual clause. Which response is correct?
- The clause grants permanent authority after transmittal.
- The parties can extend residual jurisdiction by calling their motion urgent.
- The stated pretransmittal residual clause no longer supplies authority after transmittal.
- The trial court automatically regains the whole case.
- The appeal is automatically withdrawn by the request.
