Entered by order of the Court. 
      
      . “(5) Motion to Dismiss or Affirm
      “Within fifteen days after the appeal has been docketed in this Court, the ap-pellee may file a motion to dismiss or a motion to affirm. Where appropriate, a motion to affirm may be united in the alternative with a motion to dismiss.
      “(a) The Court will receive a motion to dismiss any appeal on the ground that the appeal is not within the jurisdiction of this Court.
      “(b) The Court will receive a motion to affirm the judgment sought to be reviewed on the ground that it is manifest that the questions on which the decision of the cause depends are so unsubstantial as not to need further argument.
      “The motion to dismiss or affirm shall be filed with the clerk in conformity with Paragraph (1) of this Rule.
      “The appellant shall have seven days from the date of receipt of the motion to dismiss or affirm within which to file a response opposing the motion. Such response may be typewritten and four copies, with proof of service, shall be filed with the clerk. Upon the filing of such response, or the expiration of the time allowed therefor, or express waiver of the right to file, the record on appeal, motion and response shall be distributed by the clerk to the Court for its consideration.
      “After consideration of the papers distributed pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, or on its own motion when it is apparent from the record that the appeal is not within the jurisdiction of the Court or that it is manifest that the questions on which decision of the Court depends are so unsubstantial as not to need further argument, the Court will enter an appropriate order.
      “The time for filing briefs pursuant to Rule 16 shall not be tolled or extended by the filing of a motion to dismiss or affirm.” Rules of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit 18(5).
