The US Supreme Court issues a writ of certiorari. Intermediate appellate courts used to call case records from trial courts on a writ of error, also called a writ of coram nobis; however, this practice has become nearly obsolete, abolished completely in civil cases, and rarely used (although not explicitly prohibited) in criminal cases.
Federal Appeals below the Supreme Court
According to Title II, Rule 3, of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP), appeals "as of right" (non-discretionary) are filed as a Notice of Appeal with the Clerk of Court for the District Court from which the appeal is being made. The Clerk then serves the notice of appeal to the appropriate parties, including the appellate court. Records are sent as a part of standard procedure without requiring an explicit writ or order from the appellate court.
When an appeal is discretionary (the appellate court has the option of hearing or refusing the case), Rule 5 provides for Appeal by Permission. The party requesting the appeal must file a Petition for Permission to Appeal. If the Circuit Court files an order granting permission, the appellant pays court fees and the Clerk of Court for the District Court proceeds to serve notice and forward court records, as noted above.
Some sources generally refer to a discretionary order granting appeal as a writ of certiorari; however, in the United States, this term is typically understood to refer to the US Supreme Court rather than the Circuit Courts.
State Appeals
Most states have adopted the FRAP with amendments tailored to state procedures and laws. As with the federal court system, the Clerk of Court forwards lower court records to the appropriate appellate court as a matter of procedure when the appeal is properly filed and, if necessary, approved.
