[ME] Can a tenant appeal the judge’s ruling to grant a writ of possession for eviction?

I went to court today for an eviction hearing. We didn’t end up doing the full hearing but came to an agreement between both parties. It was decided we will be granted the writ of possession, but we’re not to serve it before 6/15. I was wondering if there’s any ability for the tenant to appeal an agreement like this. It was made with us and the judge present, but we didn’t have a full hearing.
