If your question is can you be reimbursed by the State of Florida for the 34 months you were in custody after being found not guilty...My first response is that you could only be reimbursed if the State of Florida knew or had reason to know that you were in fact not guilty...

Yes. As a general matter, the effective date is the culmination of a bill into a statute. You could find further details about a bill's history on the website of the Florida Senate.

You have 30 days to appeal a final judgment.

More information is needed. What date was the decision? Is it more than 33 days ago m? You may want to consider whether to file a motion to reconsider or a new filing. Many choose the latter, but it depends.

As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced... View More

Although this question asked about a power law in Florida, the context of your question seems to refer to New York law. Please correct and resubmit

I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I think what you are referring to is that the spouse has preference of appointment as personal representative (PR) in the probate estate, and the PR is the person who would file the lawsuit.

All is not lost, however. If the spouse... View More

No, probably not. Your terminology makes your question somewhat confusing, but the order granted by the state DCA would probably not be subject to collateral attack in the bankruptcy court.

Generally, there are limited options after judgment: (1) Move for a rehearing on the summary judgment. (2) Appeal an error made by the court during the proceedings. (3) Seek to modify the judgment, but there are only limited circumstanced in which the order can be modified. See. Rules 1.530 and... View More

And you want to know whether you can beat the ticket because of that? I don't think so.

You would need to file for emancipation.

You would need to seek post conviction relief or 3.850 or if timely, a motion to withdraw your plea.

You need to retain counsel as soon as possible

First, this has nothing to do with appellate law; it's a matter of criminal law. If a public defender was appointed to represent him, you should let them know the situation and see what they can do for him.

Nothing happens. The appeal doesn't get filed unless

a) your lawyer agrees to file the appeal against his or her better judgment (which may involve ethical problems if the lawyer feels an appeal isn't warranted);

b) you file it yourself; or

c) you find another... View More

In order to take a plea there is a verbal ok nquiry by the judge. If she can't speak it sounds doubtful that a plea could have been taken.

Essentially it sounds like she would need to seek to have her plea withdrawn.

If she wants it she needs an attorney who represents her.

You should contact your appellate lawyer who can explain everything to you

You asked this same question on AVVO or here.

The answer is the same.

It basically means that the appellate court will decide the appeal without the opposing party needing to file a brief (written memorandum setting forth legal arguments).

Do you have an attorney? If so, talk to your attorney.

If you do not, then you failed to file an answer brief in a timely fashion and the court will decide the appeal without the benefit of your input

Have you received notice as to when the briefs are due? Has a hearing been scheduled?
