Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Utah

I would like to know if an attorney removes himself from a case and does not reinstate himself or serve notice to the court that he is back representing a party - does the court or should the court acknowledge any documents the attorney tries to file on behalf of a client who's case he withdrew from ?Also if a case is under appeal and the appeal is filed without opposition can the court revisit dates of judgements from the lower court once right to appeal has been granted and there is no opposong arguments ?
