Can I appeal if I pleaded guilty or nolo contendere?
Generally, no. If your conviction was based on your plea of guilty or nolo contendere and your offense was committed after December 27, 1994, you should not file a claim of appeal. By court rule, the Court of Appeals does not have jurisdiction when a claim of appeal is filed in a criminal case where the conviction was based on a plea. MCR 7.203(A)(1)(b). The Court of Appeals will dismiss a claim filed in those circumstances. An appeal must be filed as an application.
