What is the higher court than the court of appeals? Supreme court?
answered on Dec 21, 2023
Yes, the US Supreme Court. But an appeal to that Court is not as of right. You first have to petition the US Supreme Court to review your case--only if that petition is granted can you proceed with that appeal. That petition has strict rules and procedures, mostly described in the Supreme... View More

The brief should be "spiral bound" along the left margin. Staples are not accepted. Any quality copy center or brief printer should be able to help you. And if you are the appellant--the brief cover must be yellow, as well as the record extract. The brief should be printed on ONLY one... View More
I like to know whether i should file a new suit or the entire case filed earlier will continue since the md court of special appeals vacated and remanded the judgment for further proceedings. I will obviously need to hire an attorney going forward. Yet i like to know my available recourse

With a remand for further proceedings, you should not have to do anything. The circuit court will get the case back from appellate court, and the circuit court case will start up again. You should receive notice when that should happen.

Usually, the notice of appeal is just that. A simple two sentence notice, with the case caption and signature and certificate of service. But in the information report or case summary report which usually has a strict deadline, that information is required.

No. The judgment of absolute divorce is still valid. Unless, the other party requests a stay, all parties are still divorced while the appeal proceeds. That goes to other aspects of the trial court judgment.

First, I am not a New York attorney. But if you have already agreed to a settlement, my impression is that you have also agreed to waive your appeal rights. However, I am not privy to the settlement documentations-- perhaps the appeal rights were not addressed. The fact that your attorney was on... View More

That usually means that there will be no oral arguments. The case will be reviewed only by the briefs.

If you succeed on appeal, the appeal court will issue an order detailing the next steps: remand, remand with instructions, reversal, dismissal, etc. The trial court will have to follow that order,
answered on Jun 23, 2023
Your appeal will not be heard by the same judge. And the physical location of the hearing will be at the appeal courts building.

The trial court and the prosecutor are bound by the appellate court's opinion and order. If the trial court acts in a way that shows non-compliance with that order, the trial court risks censure.
And can I raise this in a second habeas corpus

There is no "conflict of interest" when a trial attorney handles the appeal.
answered on Jun 16, 2023
Unless a stay is ordered by either the trial court or the appellate court, with whatever security is appropriate, the filing of an appeal does not suspend the judgment. So yes the payment will be due.
Was entered.
The statute does not say 7 business days but only 7 days.
Is it correct to count actual days?
answered on Apr 11, 2023
Usually, any time less than 5 days, you count calendar days. So with 7 days to take any action, it's 7 calendar days. So yes, you should count actual days.
Our landlord never fixed anything in the building we were renting for our business and we couldn't open. Back at Covid, he told us not to worry about rent "until we were up and going". The roof was leaking and ruining the carpet with mold and the AC/heat never worked. We ran a sports... View More

First, I am not a North Carolina lawyer. But if you think the civil jury was prejudiced, you possibly could appeal that ONLY IF you or your trial counsel made an objection to the makeup or composition of the jury AND the trial judge overruled that objection.

As far as I am aware, the stay and bond "freezes" the case. No rent is due during the stay, the bond should cover that.
I'm in Arizona, a community state.

I am not an Arizona lawyer. However, you should respond to the appeal, a short brief on your behalf responding to original brief will do. Check the AZ appellate rules regarding format and filing of briefs.
