Miss. L. Coun. Ct. R. 2
As amended through October 31, 2024
In any criminal case where an appeal is taken to this Court, and the appellant (defendant) when called as provided by the Uniform Criminal Rules of County Court Practice, makes default, the Court, at its election, may either return the cause to the Court from which it was appealed on a writ of procedendo, or take a judgment nisi on the recognizance or appeal bond; and when the Court takes either action, it will not be set aside during the term of the Court taken without good cause shown upon the hearing of a statutory motion seasonably filed therefor and allowed by the Court; and final judgment shall be rendered at the term of the Court to which a scire facias is returnable and executed.
