PARIS—Salah Abdeslam, the lone survivor of a terrorist squad that killed 130 people in attacks in Paris in 2015, has not appealed his life sentence or guilty verdict—closing the door to a second trial, a Paris appeals court said Tuesday.

A French court last month judged Abdeslam guilty on terrorism and murder charges. Nineteen others were found guilty for helping organize the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks that targeted the Bataclan music hall, bars, restaurants, and the Stade de France sports stadium.
