    Uh can appeals appear in the same courtroom? I thought it’d automatically go to the next level

      The appeals court can reinstate the case, but it would then go back to the trial court to continue litigation. It’s only an appeal of the dismissal.

        Seems like if you’re going to bother with an appeal, you might as well try for a new judge/venue as well.
