It depends on who decided your case. If a magistrate decided your case, then you may object to the magistrate's decision. You have to file objections with the court within 14 days of the date that the decision was sent to you. If a judge decided your case, then you need to file a notice of appeal.

They sent it back for resentencing on the one case but upheld the rest. So right now, he has three years plus whatever he gets at resentencing. The end result will almost certainly be exactly the same. But the trial court has to impose individual sentences for each offense.
