Q: Can an appeal be filled to this case? Drummond vs Johnson Johnson is my grandmother.
A:
An ordinary appeal can be filed in any case within 30 days of the date a final judgment has been signed by the court. If certain post-judgment motions are filed, or if a party did not timely receive notice of the judgment, that time could be extended, up to 105 days after the date a final judgment was signed.
A restricted appeal can be filed up to six months after the date a final judgment was signed; but a restricted is not available in all cases.
Without knowing the case number and court in which the case Drummond vs. Johnson was pending, there is no way to determine the exact deadline for an appeal in that particular case.
