The Maryland Court of Appeals is the highest court in the state and has the final say on appeals. If they deny your appeal, that is the end of your case, unless the case involves a preserved federal question (a question regarding federal law, treaties, or the US Constitution that has been raised at trial and each appellate level). Such cases may be appealed to the US Supreme Court.
