The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. Beverly Maser, Respondent

Summary

The court held that the court of appeals has jurisdiction to review a district court's final order dismissing a misdemeanor charge, even when the district court may have improperly assumed jurisdiction over a county court case. Routing the appeal elsewhere would either violate the rule against one district court reviewing another or leave the People without appellate relief. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for review of the dismissal on the merits.
