According to some talking head on the BBC, the same judges that will hear his appeal are the judges that are overseeing the Anfal trial. Of course, they are complaining about a conflict of interest. From the BBC website:
What happens next? In Iraqi law, guilty verdicts on murder charges are automatically sent within 10 days to a nine-judge appellate chamber, no matter who the defendant is. It can take as little as 20 days for the appeal to be heard. If a death sentence is upheld, it must be carried out within 30 days, and Iraq's tripartite presidency must sign the execution papers. Execution is by hanging, although Saddam has asked for a firing squad. It is unclear whether he can be executed before the Anfal trial concludes. In addition, the defendants may face other charges relating, for instance, to the suppression of the 1991 Shia and Kurdish uprisings or the wars with Iran and Kuwait.
