The Sentence Review Panel shall consist of 3 justices of the Supreme Judicial Court to be designated from time to time by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court. No justice may sit or act on an appeal from a sentence imposed by that justice. Leave to appeal shall be granted if any one of the 3 panelists votes in favor of granting leave.
