   e.g. 622 So. 2d 896 - Ex Parte Howington · 520 So. 2d 207 - Petite v. State

3. “"While the failure to file or give a proper notice of appeal is a basis for dismissing the appeal, Rule 2(b), A.R.A.P. cloaks this court with the authority to suspend the rules 'in the interest of expediting decision, or for other good cause shown.' "Because this matter may have been subject to some misinterpretation or misunderstanding and in the interest of expediting our decision, we suspend the rules and deny the state's motion to dismiss."”
