facts of the proceedings in the District Court, which must be |
forwarded to the Law Court. In the presiding judge's discretion |
and upon a finding that special circumstances exist, the |
presiding judge, in lieu of preparing a statement of facts, may |
order that a transcript of all or part of the proceedings in the |
District Court be prepared and transmitted to the Law Court. |
The statement of facts or the transcript must be returned to the |
District Court with the order of the court. Denial of the |
certificate constitutes finality of the proceedings. An appeal |
after the issuance of a certificate of probable cause to the |
petitioner or an appeal taken by the State, in which case no |
certificate of probable cause is necessary, may be taken in the |
same manner as an appeal of a criminal conviction by a defendant |
except that the appeal must be made directly to the Law Court. |
The provisions of section 2115-A do not apply. |
