California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Coreas v. Substance Abuse & Treatment Facility & State Prison, F064046 (Cal. App. 2017):
By applying the habeas corpus standard of review and denying appellant's petition, the trial court implicitly deemed appellant's petition as one for habeas corpus. As such, the mechanism for review is not an appeal to this court but a separate habeas petition. Appellant has not filed such a petition. This court is therefore without jurisdiction to hear this appeal and the appeal must be dismissed. (People v. Ryan (1953) 118 Cal.App.2d 144, 149.)
The appeal is dismissed.
