Miss. L. Coun. Ct. R. 9
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 Rules, 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 of said actions, it will not be set aside during the term of court taken without good cause shown upon the hearing of a statutory motion reasonably 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.
