A writ of certiorari is a petition for appeal to a higher court as of discretion to be granted by the higher court and not an appeal by right. Writs are generally filed as extraordinary relief requesting court intervention at the higher level to settle an issue at the lower court.

The respondents (the other party) then has 30 days to respond.
