Actions Permitted of Appellate Court

The appellate court may reverse, affirm or modify a judgment or order appealed from, or reduce the degree of the offense or the punishment imposed, and may set aside, affirm or modify any or all of the proceedings subsequent to, or dependent upon, such judgment or order, and may, if proper, order a new trial and may, if proper, remand the cause to the trial court for such further proceedings as may be just under the circumstances. COURT DECISIONS: D.C.GUAM:APP.DIV. 1983 While no specific standards of review are set forth to guide the District Court Appellate Division, reference to the common law provides specific guidance. People v. Manibusan, D.C. Cr. #81-0053A. NOTE: Section 130.60 is based upon former § 1260, Penal Code, but a provision is added which authorizes a remand to the trial court for further proceedings. It authorizes, also, the modification of sentences. While this Section appeared in the former Penal Code, it was added by the Editor on the assumption that its omission was a printer's error. The section is substantively the same as Cal. Penal Code § 1260, as amended in 1970.
