What is the difference between a writ petition and an appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Stupp v. Schilders (In re Stupp), A145598 (Cal. App. 2017):

6. The writ petition in case A146301 was filed in November 2015, but Schilders did not request judicial notice until May 2016. The appeal in case No. A147151 was dismissed because it was taken from a nonappealable order. (Stupp v. Schilders (Oct. 25, 2016, A147151) [nonpub. opn.] pp. 2-4.)
