How to file an appeal
I am a plaintiff in pro per in a civil unlimited lawsuit against two defendants in the superior court of San Francisco. The judge acknowledged that my pleadings were well written, but did not prove all the 4 elements of the cause of action against one of the defendants. He therefore, granted summary judgment for that defendant. Further, the judge upheld that my motion for amended complaint to add trespass and nuisance as two causes of action will be heard and if a leave a granted for me to file my amended complaint, my action against the defendant whose summary judgment was granted will continue. This caused an opposition on the part of the defendant�s attorney. My questions are as follows:
The opposing party�s counsel warned me right after the motion that his client is now the prevailing party and he will collect sizable amount of attorney fees and cost from me. Since my motion for amended complaint will be heard next week, can he do this?
How do I file an appeal against the grant of summary judgment?
I am sending out subpoenas to my witnesses. Do I need to file the subpoenas with the court and do I need to send money along with the subpoenas to the witnesses?
Thank you so much for clarification.
