Yes, sometimes. Certain US District Court decisions can be appealed to the US Supreme Court on direct or expedited appeal, if the case involves a statute in which Congress specified initial appeals go directly to the Supreme Court, or if the nature of the case is such that it is important and will undoubtedly be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, anyway.
The normal route for US District Court cases is an appeal to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court over the District Court's Circuit, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court if a party is dissatisfied with the Circuit Court's decision.

Identify the main responsibilities of the court of appeals and the state supreme court?
The state Courts of Appeal review and render decisions on cases appealed to them from the lower circuits of the state court system. No actual jury trials are held at this level, they simply review the cases for legal sufficiency and render a verdict either affirming them or remanding them back to the lower courts for re-trial. State Supreme Courts hear all cases which have been appealed past the circuit court and appelate levels and - like the appeals court - no jury trials are held in front of them either although the opposing lawyers for both sides can appear and deliver their respective arguments. Cases appealed to the state Supreme Court have reached their highest level at this point and the State Supreme Court's decision is final and binding. Cases can move out of the state courts system into the Federal court system ONLY if the case involves or contains some over-riding interest in, or conflict with, Federal law.

Would the state supreme court handle a robbery case?
The U.S. Supreme Court would not be involved unless the case had already been decided and appealed. For instance, the Mirandadecision came from the Supreme Court because a man wasn't told his rights when he was arrested as dictated by the constitution so the court ruled. It would have to be something along that line.However, the New York Supreme Court is the state's trial court (which would handle a jewelry robbery).
