First, I am not a California lawyer. That being said, the clock starts running when the final judgment is issued. So you have how many days provided by rule or statute to appeal from the September 17, date.

Unlikely you will get a definitive answer on this public forum, because it requires a review of the documents, for which an attorney charges a fee. You posted again later and I responded to that post. Suggest you read it.

In the prior appeal, the defendants conceded a point. Based on that concession, the appellate court reversed and remanded. Post remand, the defendants argued the identical point and the trial court again sided it with them and dismissed the case based on the same issue that the appellate court... View More

First, I am not a California lawyer. That being said, was the "law of the case" argued before the trial court on remand? I would think that that doctrine applies here. But I can see how oral argument in the prior appeal could be cited in the current appeal, so I think the answer is "yes."
I am the original plaintiff in small claims, the cross defendant on appeal of trial De Novo and it was ruled in my favor in both trials. However, the appeal judge made an error in his judgement on one of my claims that I clearly had enough evidence to prove. It was awarded in my favor by the Trial... View More

Preparation of evidence before trial is very important. To me this sounds like you did not provide the de Novo judge with a proper one page summary of your damages with a total, supported by your evidence. You can go to the Judicial Council forms and see about form SC-108. You should attach a... View More

not sure what you are asking.
more info is needed.
please consult a local lawyer asap to "try" to mitigate the filing and charges.
denial letter says no appeal to the decision, only motion to reconsider/reopen. But a field office made a mistake stating I-130 was abandoned and therefore got denied. Petition has never been abandoned and all info was provided on time.

A question that is unique to your particular situation should be discussed with an experienced immigration attorney. I can not advise you without looking at the record.
I did not received can't letter from the superior court; I don't have any idea what is going on with my Civil Case/Wronful Eviction. Please let me know how I can prepare opening brief and the reason why I need to send it, and the step I need to take for the procedures. Thank you!

The rules of appellate procedure are contained in the California Rules of Court. If you are representing yourself, you are charged with the duty and obligation to read them and follow them. Otherwise hire an appellate attorney to assist you with the procedures in your case. Best of luck. This... View More

more info needed........
it depends.....what were they convicted of? how long ago? on parole or probation? do terms of probation or parole address that issue?
the best person to ask is the person who represented them on the underlying case.

It sounds like this person is on the road to being declared a "vexatious litigant." Have a glass of wine and relax, you cannot stop them from doing what they insist on doing, you can only defend yourself with a good probate/Civil Litigation attorney. Best of luck to you.

The facts that you have stated do not constitute a legal defense to the citation, IMO.
Justia disclaimers below, incorporated herein.
I know with a personal attorney cases will get dropped to misdemeanor or lighter charges.

First, I am not a CA lawyer. That being said, I don't think you can appeal your case because the time window for an appeal has passed.

You are asking the wrong people. You should be contacting your own attorney for this information, or looking your information up on the Court's website or PACER.

At a trial court for a civil proceeding, if a defendant dies, the onus is on the plaintiff to initiate various actions, these requirements are spelled out in:

The rules regarding practice before the Court of Appeals are located in the California Rules of Court. They are complex, and there are filing deadlines that are very strict- if you do not file on time, your appeal is dismissed. The Civil Code sections you cite are for the time to bring an action...

Something tells me that you don't have the facts straight. First, a Kohls investigator does not work for the government, so a statement to a private individual is not a statement to the government. Next, your facts indicate that the Court of Appeals considered your arguments about the false... View More

The judge is going to ask you: Why did you wait 20 years to challenge that you are not the father? Why didn't you do that 20 years ago? If you look back at the original order it no doubt says that you are the father in the original order. If you were not the original father, it should... View More

First, I am not an Arizona lawyer. If the AZ appellate rules allow, perhaps you can file a motion for reconsideration to the AZ Supreme Court, asking them to take the case. Aside from that, you have one avenue for appeal left: a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court (very expensive and a whole... View More

First of all, I am not a California attorney.
