Any person appealing from any judgment of the superior court under which judgment such person may be committed to a community correctional center may, at any time before the hearing in the Supreme Court or Appellate Court, notify the Superior Court that such appeal is withdrawn, and, if such person is in a community correctional center in default of bail awaiting trial upon such appeal, the court shall forthwith forward a mittimus to the Community Correctional Center Administrator, and the term of such sentence shall run from the date of such notice, provided such term shall not run concurrently with any other sentence or term imposed upon such person unless so directed by such court. If any person taking such appeal is at large, such person shall forthwith surrender himself to the court from which such appeal was taken and such court shall issue a mittimus in the same manner as though no appeal had been taken. Upon the issuance of such mittimus, such appeal shall be vacated and the judgment shall be in force. In any case in which the judgment from which an appeal has been taken includes a community correctional center sentence and a fine, such appeal may be vacated upon compliance with the provisions of section 54-96a and of this section, and thereupon such judgment shall be in effect.

History: 1959 act substituted circuit court for trial justice or municipal court and changed technical language of statute; 1963 act substituted jail administrator for keeper of the jail; 1969 act substituted community correctional centers and their administrators for jails and their administrators; P.A. 74-183 replaced circuit court with court of common pleas and specified appellate session as that of superior court, reflecting reorganization of judicial system, effective December 31, 1974; P.A. 76-436 replaced court of common pleas with superior court and appellate session of superior court with hearing in supreme court, effective July 1, 1978; Sec. 54-14 transferred to Sec. 54-96b in 1981; June Sp. Sess. P.A. 83-29 included reference to appellate court. Annotations to former section 54-14: Cited. 171 C. 417. Section by implication may be sufficient to hold that, on the carrying out of sentence, litigation is ended, and a review is precluded. 23 CS 135. Partial execution of sentence by payment of fine does not deprive court of power to open judgment. Id., 179.
