"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.
