(1) An appeal to the Court of Appeals may be certified to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court may accept or deny acceptance of the certified appeal, as provided in ORS 19.405.
(2) At any time before the State Court Administrator sends notice to the parties of the date of oral argument or, if the case is not orally argued, the date that the State Court Administrator delivers the briefs to the Court of Appeals for decision, a party may request the Supreme Court to take and decide an appeal taken by the state under ORS 138.060 (1).

(b) The extent to which the case presents speedy trial concerns; and
(c) The extent to which the case presents a significant issue of law. [1981 c.550 §4; 2001 c.870 §4c]
