No, it is not. Everyone has the right to appeal the findings of their case. Whether or not the appeal is accepted to be heard is another question. Many cases are appealed "without merit" simply because the appealing party was unsatisfied with the verdict. However, if after study, the appeals court determines that ALL the legal aspects of the case were conducted properly, it will not be appealable.
