Zimmerman v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Maryland held that it, rather than the Appellate Court of Maryland, has exclusive jurisdiction to review a probation revocation originating in the District Court and reviewed de novo by a circuit court. The applicable statutes require any further review to proceed by discretionary petition for a writ of certiorari. The Court affirmed the transfer and treated Zimmerman’s notice of appeal as a deficient certiorari petition, allowing him 30 days to file a proper petition.
