First, I am not a TN lawyer. However, I agree with the previous answer. Usually, an appeal alone does not stop the trial court's judgment nor an enforcement of that judgment. A motion to stay the judgment must be filed, generally requiring a bond. But check your appellate rules as to when a... View More

It is the State's Case, not the victim's. Prepare for the Preliminary Hearing as it may be a very serious charge. Hopefully it will be Dismissed in Court.

Hie lawyer needs to prepare for a thorough Preliminary Hearing at General Sessions Court. You have not stated any facts nor legal proceedings, but I suspect his lawyer needs to get in gear, or hire a competent one now.

If within 30 days of entry of the Judgment, you might file a Rule 59 Motion To Alter or Amend with the Probate Court. Later you might consider an appeal, but first you want the trial court to hear that you actually borrowed money and were paying it back. Hire a competent attorney as you need a... View More

Usually, it's 30 days from the final judgment of the court below. Once the appeal is noted, when you file your brief, you can raise the issue of subject... View More

you will need to call Maury County clerk's office. Your case will likely be reset because the courts are closed to most in-person proceedings until the end of January. The clerk's office will give you the correct court date.

The bankruptcy by debtor/appellant should not affect the appeal, because plaintiff's debt was not included in the bankruptcy discharge. However, any further proceedings on the appeal are probably moot now. And if the debtor/ appellant has recently filed for bankruptcy, are there any funds left... View More

I am pro-Se. I know To file the notice of appeal is within 10 days but getting a brief written up in that short of time is near impossible. That’s why I was asking if the brief had to be attached to the notice of appeal or I had a certain time limit to file the brief. Thank you for your help

First, I am not a Tennessee lawyer. That being said, the notice of appeal and the eventual brief are separate documents. And generally, there's 1) the transcripts need to be ordered by you, 2) the record --including the transcripts--have to be forwarded to the appellate court by the trial... View More

This is a Tennessee forum. It sounds like he may wish to file a notice of appeal if he still has time. Get ahold of an attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction.

Not sure of your question. But the Court that issued the Bond Condition can also be moved to modify its Order. It will require filing and arguing a Motion.
It started off concurrent and then they made it consecutive ( felony while on parole) but had me get an amendmended/corrected sentence order(I did) they still treating it consecutive
answered on Aug 26, 2020
The one thing that comes to mind is that they committed a crime while on bond. If this is the case then the department mandatorily runs it consecutive.
We think we have a great case for an appeal (the judge himself said to appeal his own sentence at least 5 times during sentencing) so we really want him to stay out while appealing.

First I am not a Tennessee lawyer. That being said, generally a party (civil or criminal) has 30 days to note an appeal, with the bond accompanying that. That's 30 days after sentencing date, whether your lawyer notes the appeal or you do. But I think that an appeal in a criminal case does not... View More
