Does this mean there can be no exceptions? State v. Gregory, 74 Wn.2d 696, 698, 446 P.2d 191 (1968); State v. Carmody, 75 Wn.2d 615, 617, 452 P.2d 959 (1969); State v. Sodorff, 84 Wn.2d 888, 890, 529 P.2d 1066 (1975). Our Supreme Court has never said that these rules are imbedded in immovable concrete forms; but it has said in Port Angeles v. Dustin, 73 Wn.2d 712, 715, 440 P.2d 420 (1968):
The prosecuting attorney, noting this oversight, filed a motion in the Superior Court to dismiss the appeal. [1] The Superior Court Judge, recognizing the rule as set down in State v. Carmody, 75 Wn.2d 615, 452 P.2d 959 (1969); State v. Gregory, 74 Wn.2d 696, 446 P.2d 191 (1968); Port Angeles v. Dustin, 73 Wn.2d 712, 440 P.2d 420 (1968), granted the State's motion. The cases cited require, in clear and concise language, strict compliance with the rule requiring serving and filing of the notice of appeal and other requirements set forth in JCrR 6.01.
[3] We have consistently held that the rules governing appeals from the district court are mandatory and that an appellant has the burden of complying with them. State v. Carmody, 75 Wn.2d 615, 452 P.2d 959 (1969); State v. Gregory, 74 Wn.2d 696, 446 P.2d 191 (1968). Responsibility for compliance cannot be shifted to the district court or to the prosecuting attorney.
(Italics mine.)State v. Gregory, 74 Wn.2d 696, 698, 446 P.2d 191 (1968); State v. Carmody, 75 Wn.2d 615, 617, 452 P.2d 959 (1969); State v. Sodorff, 84 Wn.2d 888, 890, 529 P.2d 1066 (1975). JCrR 6.01(d) states: "The justice court shall give prompt notice of the filing . . ."
[3] It has been repeatedly held that the rules governing courts of limited jurisdiction are mandatory and the failure to strictly comply with the rules results in a dismissal. See State v. Sodorff, 84 Wn.2d 888, 529 P.2d 1066 (1975); State v. Carmody, 75 Wn.2d 615, 452 P.2d 959 (1969); State v. Gregory, 74 Wn.2d 696, 446 P.2d 191 (1968). Likewise, the speedy trial rule applicable to superior courts, CrR 3.3, has been strictly enforced and noncompliance results in a dismissal.
