The cross appeal rule states that a remedy in favor of an appellee can only be justified if the appellee brings a cross appeal.

In Greenlaw v. United States, the Supreme Court held that an appellate court violated this rule when it imposed a minimum sentencing hike on the appellant even though the appellee (state) had not filed a cross appeal.
