please make a very brief argument using Kentucky Civil Rule (CR) *.* (which allows the Court of Appeals to consider palpable errors affecting substantial rights) to extend the 30 day deadline for appealing a ruling [per (RAP) *(A)(*) ].

Under Kentucky Civil Rule *.*, the Court of Appeals has the authority to consider palpable errors affecting substantial rights even if they were not brought to the court's attention. This rule provides a basis for extending the *-day deadline for appealing a ruling (RAP *(A)(*)), as it allows the court to address significant errors that could affect the outcome of the case, ensuring fairness and justice.
