A:
In California courts, you can generally include multiple court orders in one notice of appeal, as long as they are related to the same case and were made within the applicable time frame for filing an appeal.
When filing your appeal, you need to clearly identify each order you're challenging in your notice of appeal. This helps ensure the appellate court understands exactly which decisions you want them to review. The orders should be from the same underlying case and typically need to be "appealable orders" - meaning they are final decisions or fall under specific categories that can be appealed.
The key is timing - make sure you file your appeal within the required deadline, which usually starts running from the most recent order you're challenging. It's important to consult the California Rules of Court or seek legal guidance to confirm the specific requirements for your situation, as complex cases may have unique considerations regarding multiple orders in one appeal.
