1. The jurisdiction of the court of appeals is coextensive with the state. The court of appeals has appellate jurisdiction only in cases in chancery, and constitutes a court for the correction of errors at law.
2. The court of appeals has subject matter jurisdiction to review the following matters:
a. Civil actions and special civil proceedings, whether at law or in equity.
b. Criminal actions.
c. Postconviction remedy proceedings.
d. A judgment of a district judge in a small claims action.
3. The jurisdiction of the court of appeals with respect to actions and parties is limited to those matters for which an appeal or review proceeding properly has been brought before the supreme court, and for which the supreme court pursuant to section 602.4102 has entered an order transferring the matter to the court of appeals.
4. The court of appeals and judges of the court may issue writs and other process necessary for the exercise and enforcement of the court's jurisdiction, but a writ, order, or other process issued in a matter that is not before the court pursuant to an order of transfer issued by the supreme court is void.
