No, for that you would need to petition for a re-trial. Appelate courts only review the lower courts cases and decisions to determine if the trial was conducted properly and the rules of law and evidence were followed. l

Why dont federal appeals courts have trials?

The role of all appellate courts is to review a trial court's judgment to determine if an error or errors were made that need to be corrected. An appellate court reviews the trial court -- thus, it does not have trials. The closest thing to a "trial" at the appellate level is the oral argument. During oral argument, the lawyer stands in front of the appellate judges to present a summary of his/her appeal, and answers questions for the judges. However, it is always an issue of law, not fact, when dealing with the appellate courts. Issues of fact are for the trial court.
