Yes, and? Everyone gets one appeal as of right.
But an appeal isn’t “oh please appeals court, the trial court was mean to me so please look at everything again.”
An appeal is “The trial court got these specific things wrong, please reverse on these grounds.”

Getting back to one appeal as of right? Further appeals (to SCOTX) have to be applied for, and the general consensus is that that permission will be denied.
