Yamparala used a form notice of appeal that referenced the district court, the Public Utilities Commission, the Industrial Commission, and named the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney as a responding party. The text of the notice of appeal stated that Yamparala was appealing to the “Idaho Supreme Court” and that Yamparala “has a right to appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court.” The appeal was filed as an appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court.
