Resolution Codes (Q9)



1 No error: The trial court correctly resolved the issue that was raised on appeal.

2 Harmless error: The trial court incorrectly resolved the issue that was raised on

appeal, but this error would not have changed the ultimate outcome of the trial.

3 Reversible error: The trial court incorrectly resolved the issue that was raised on

appeal, and this error was substantial enough to potentially change the outcome

of the trial.

4 Other or unknown resolution on the merits.

5 Non-meritorious resolution: The appellate court resolved the appeal, but it was unrelated to the merits of the issues raised on appeal (e.g., no jurisdiction, issue waived or not preserved for appeal, issues are moot, argument not supported by the trial record, etc.)
