Rule 69.255. Decisions; Objections

(a) If a Judge who is not a member of the en banc Court or of the panel before which a case is argued, or to which it is submitted, responds with an objection to the draft opinion, the opinion-writing Judge shall consider the objection and reasons for it, and may revise the draft opinion and recirculate it as deemed necessary.

(b) An objecting Judge shall also inform all other Judges of the objection and the reasons for it. An objection, however, shall not entitle the objecting Judge to file a concurring or dissenting opinion.
