470.25 - Determination of Appeals by Intermediate Appellate Courts; Form and Content of Order.

(a) A statement of whether the determination was upon the law or upon
the facts or as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, or
upon any specified two or all three of such bases; and
(b) If the decision is rendered without opinion, a brief statement of
the specific grounds of the reversal or modification; and
(c) A statement of the corrective action taken or directed by the
court; and
(d) If the determination is exclusively upon the law, a statement of
whether or not the facts upon which the criminal court's judgment,
