Well, your question is a little confusing, so I will do my best.
A petition for a writ of cert (certiorari in its long form) is when you apply to the Supreme Court of the United States. The US Supreme Court gets thousands of applications each year, and only accepts a few cases. If the Supreme Court accepts a case, it issues a writ of certiorari (an order to send relevant records) to the lower court. It is unthinkable that a court would refuse such an order, but the likely result would be whoever refused would be fired (except a judge) or subject to censure or some other form of discipline (a judge).
If the Supreme Court ignores a petition for a writ of certiorari, the decision of the lower court stands. This does not necessarily mean the Supreme Court agrees with the decision.

What does 'cert' mean in legal terms?
"Cert" is lawyerspeak shorthand for a "writ of certiorari". The US Supreme Court has complete discretion over the cases it hears under appellate jurisdiction; state supreme courts (or the equivalent) have mandatory appellate jurisdiction over death penalty cases, but discretionary jurisdiction over most other cases. Appeals are addressed to the Supreme Court by "petition for a writ of certiorari." Thousands try, only a few are granted. If the Court denies your application for "cert" you are stuck with whatever the decision in the lower courts was.
