There is no set time limit for the Colorado Supreme Court to rule. Your wait of 9 months is not at all unusual. It could be several months before the Court renders a decision.

I urge you to call an appellate attorney. Depending on your ability to pay for an attorney, you may be able to hire one on an hourly or flat fee basis or you may qualify for a public defender or alterternative defense counsel (if it's a criminal case) or there may be some services out there to...

You cannot file it for him. Only he can file it or a lawyer.

Obviously, this is the last chance he will have to get review.

If yyou had to ask that question, you are ill equipped (in fact, not equipped at all) to have any ability in that area.

If he is going to have any... View More

Each case is independent of the other in terms of outcome. A plea of guilty by person who took a plea deal does not preclude a jury in a related case from finding the defendant guilty of the offense(s) charged in the related case. In other words, just because one person pled to manslaughter does... View More

The answer is "it depends." If there is a no contact order that order does NOT bind the victim from trying to contact the Defendant. This is a dangerous situation - if the person on the deferred judgement receives the contact and then responds to it - THEY would bein violation of the no... View More

No, a difference in name will not allow you to seal a conviction. Many convictions in Colorado can be sealed, but the requirements always related to a certain number of years of conviction-free conduct (the number or years required to pass varies by the severity of the crime). If these are traffic... View More

Presuming I am understanding your question correctly, it looks like your attorney withdrew from your case in April? Appeals and motions can be filed whether you have an attorney or not. All the filing deadlines also apply whether you have an attorney or not.

It is probably best to talk to an attorney before you proceed. The attorney might be able to expedite the appeal process too. If the judge did not award back rent it is probably because either it was not requested or the judge denied the request. If the judge denied the request, you will need to... View More

You can always tell her no, the issue is whether you can enforce the no via the police or courts. The following and frequent entry into the apartment is very likely overstepping. If you can document this, it might be helpful for the eviction.

Generally yes, the landlord has a right to inspect the apartment for litigation and likely under general inspection rules under the lease. It is recommend that you heavily document the apartment before the landlord inspection and after the inspection. A combination of movies and still images is... View More

There is a remote possibility that you can file a federal lawsuit for the violation of a constitutional right. Assuming the termination hearing was conducted properly and there is nothing novel about your case, the likelihood of the surviving summary judgment (rejection before the full trial) is... View More

Contact an attorney to review your offer and the potential outcomes of accepting the offer.

If you mean that your lawyer withdrew from your case, then you are appealing as a pro se (without representation) party. If you mean that the entire appeal was withdrawn, then you are not appealing your current conviction.

Contact the lawyer's office to see if an alternative counsel was designated. If not, request your file from the office. As a general rule you should receive a refund for any unused portion of retainer amount (excluding any costs/fees for services already rendered). There are procedures in... View More

Talk to a lawyer about your options. You can ask the judge to suspend the sentence until your appeal is decided, but it is judicial discretion on whether to suspend your sentence. Also, be aware that there is a very short period of time to appeal a conviction; the notice of appeal can be as little... View More

Basically, because ineffective assistance is generally best raised in a post conviction relief proceeding. Each case is different.

This post makes absolutely no sense to me. Perhaps you should learn how to make complete sentences.

That depends upon all of the facts and circumstances. Was the right to appeal reserved basically as a result of a motion to suppress being denied? Was there a collateral matter that can be appealed? You need to speak with your attorney about this. In order to appeal, there must be an appealable... View More

When you need legal help, you must go see a local attorney for a full discussion.

Ask the clerk? I cannot say.
