The Courts of Appeal should dispose of causes that raise no substantial issues of law or fact by memorandum or other abbreviated form of opinion. Such causes could include:
(1) An appeal that is determined by a controlling statute which is not challenged for unconstitutionality and does not present any substantial question of interpretation or application;
(2) An appeal that is determined by a controlling decision which does not require a reexamination or restatement of its principles or rules; or
(3) An appeal raising factual issues that are determined by the substantial evidence rule.
