Q: In FL 10th judicial appeal,18 months after the briefs were provided, there is no mention of it anywhere. Can I find it?
I asked my court appointed appellate counsel about the status of my appeal. It has been 18 months since the appellant and appellate briefs were provided. In those 18 months there has been no mention of it, anywhere. I was told that nothing will be published until the affirming/reversing is decided.
Since my court appointed trial counsel threw me under the bus to spare my accuser from the repercussion of a false report of a crime.
Is there any way for me to track the status of my appeal?
A:
Dear ?,
Your court appointed counsel is the best person to answer this question. If he/she cannot or will not then you should contact the Clerk of the appellate court. In general, most states have an electronic appellate docket these days, but sometimes access to it is restricted.
