Appeals

Appeals. In a habeas corpus proceeding, the final order is subject to appeal to the Commonwealth Supreme Court, provided that notice of appeal is filed within 30 days after entry of the final order. The court issuing the final order may, in its discretion, stay execution of the order, admit the person imprisoned or restrained to bail pending action by the appellate court, or direct that the final order take effect pending such action or without awaiting for the time for filing such notice of appeal to expire.

Commission Comment: The Commission deleted an obsolete reference to the federal District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, which had been included in the original 1984 code, and inserted “Commonwealth Supreme Court” in its place.
