A:
In California, after a denial of a Motion for Reconsideration in a civil unlimited case at the Superior Court level, you would need to file your appeal with the California Court of Appeal for your district. Los Angeles cases specifically fall under the Second District Court of Appeal's jurisdiction.
The timeline for filing your Notice of Appeal is critical - you generally have 60 days from the date of service of the order denying your Motion for Reconsideration. Missing this deadline could result in losing your right to appeal, so it's important to act promptly.
You should note that simply filing a Motion for Reconsideration does not automatically extend your time to appeal from the underlying order or judgment. It's crucial to work with a qualified attorney who can help ensure you meet all procedural requirements and deadlines. The appeals process can be complex, with strict formatting requirements and specific legal standards that must be met.
