Law of Criminal Procedure

The circuit rendering the appealed judgment shall review the memorandum of appeal with respect to the grounds for such appeal without a hearing, unless otherwise necessary. Said circuit shall either uphold or amend its judgment as it sees fit. If it upholds its judgment, it shall refer it along with a copy of the case record and memorandum of appeal and all documents to the court of appeals. If the judgment is amended, it shall be communicated to the parties and, in this case, shall remain subject to applicable procedures.
