Terms Used In Utah Code 77-18a-2
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
After the resolution of an initial appeal of a capital case when the sentence of death has been imposed, a subsequent appeal may not be entertained by any court and a stay of execution of the sentence may not be granted when the appeal does not raise any new matter not previously resolved or when the new matter could have been raised at the previous appeal.
