645E. If after judgment, a review is sought by the petitioner
within thirty (30) days and the Court of Appeals or the Court of
Special Appeals grants leave to appeal pursuant to Section 1 645-I of
this Article and [that court] either of said Courts finds that the peti-
tioner is unable to pay the costs of the review, [the Court] said
Courts shall order that all necessary costs and expenses incident
thereto, including all court costs, stenographic services, and print-

645-I. Any person, including the Attorney General of Maryland
or the State's attorney for Baltimore City or any county, as the case
may be, aggrieved by the order of the court or judge passed in
accordance with this subtitle, may within thirty (30) days after the
passage of said order apply to the Court of Appeals of Maryland for
leave to prosecute an appeal therefrom [.] in cases where the appli-
cant is incarcerated under sentence of death, and may within thirty
(30) days after the passage of said order apply to the Court of
Special Appeals for leave to prosecute an appeal therefrom in all
other cases. Said application for leave to prosecute an appeal shall
be in such form as [the Court of Appeals] said appellate Courts

ney General or the State's attorney shall forthwith state his inten-
tion to file such application for an appeal, the order may be stayed,
but the judge may, in his discretion, admit the petitioner to bail for
his appearance when required. If the application to prosecute such
appeal shall be granted, the procedure thereafter shall be in con-
formity with the rules of [the Court of Appeals] said appellate
Courts and the [Court] Courts may affirm, reverse or modify the
order appealed from, or [it] they may remand the case for further
proceedings, but if said application is denied, the order sought to be
reviewed shall thereby become final, to the same extent and with the

same effect as if said order had been affirmed on appeal.

Court of Special Appeals may, by its rules, prescribe. If the Attorney
General or the State's attorney shall state an intention to file an
application for leave to appeal, the order may be stayed. If the appli-

conform with the rules of the [Court of Appeals] Court of Special
Appeals. On appeal, the Court may affirm, reverse or modify the
