File a notice of appeal in the bankruptcy court and pay the filing fee. That will perfect your appeal to the United States District Court in Maryland.

You are subject to the maximum sentence provided by the law as it was in effect on the date of the offense. The sentencing guidelines are not binding, and a judge is free to consider any mitigating or aggravating circumstances in arriving at the sentence.

This isn’t even close to the information a lawyer needs to appeal a case. If you are lucky, this is a de novo appeal from a district court decision. Regardless, there is no way around it: you need to pay for legal services, and you might want to start with a consult to determine whether you’ll... View More

The sentence was already given out by the judge who then imposed it upon a preponderance of the evidence finding that the defendant violated probation. So the legal standard is different. Judges have wide latitude to impose the... View More
