lowering restitution amount

I was court ordered to pay a large restitution to the state. Can I appeal for a much lower amount? And how low? The original amount was for 82 thousand, I have paid a few thousand of it already, but I would like to negotiate a lower amount that I can just pay off. The restitution was related to a Federal case that I was given probation for and completed already.

Early Release from probation

I need to know if I can terminate my probation early in order to go into the ARMY, or at least how to go about doing this?

Can you clarify?

I am trying to understand how this works. If I take everyones word from here and the appellet lawyers I talked to I come up with this which seems like a mess.

If a trial court judge makes a summery judgment in favor of the defendant and in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and the court of Appeal is supposed to only look at the law and not the facts, then what happens to the disputed facts? Is the rulling by the trial court judge now set in stone and off the table? How can a case be looked at De Novo in appeal if they do not reconsidering facts?

Assuming both sides find supporting case law for an appeal, what side is the court of appeals supposed to view then?

College

My son is on a basketbal scholarship and is enrolled in the elementary education program. He is on going on his last semester and he has to attend a student-teacher internship for his last semester. He was denied by the teacher education committee of the school. Because he was going to miss to many days(8-10days). He is only allowed three days. A former basketball player attended the same program and was allowed to miss the same amount of days. This player was white and my son is african american. The educational program is the same and they both are or were playing the same sport. The only different between the two is race. I disagree with the committee decision and would like to receive some type of recommentdation towards some type of appeal process. The school hasn't or doesn't have any type of recourse as far as i know, for this matter. The name of the school is rocky mountain college in billings montana. A response in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you vbery much, mr. Swan

Please, need help with Contempt Of Court issue

If in any New York State District Court proceeding a defendent is charged and

found guilty of 'contemt of court', for any actions OUTSIDE of the

courtroom itself, and an actual fine imposed on that defendent is more

than $1 or jail time is administered, is the defendent entitled to

an appeal of the entire case by a higher court?

Suing

How long do you have to sue some if they owe you money?

Complaints or Cross-Complaint

Is it a problem if the served copies of a complaint or cross-complaint are diferent from the one filed with the court? If it is, is it a critical problem (i.e. one from which the case may not recover)?

Appellant decision-Traffic

How do I appeal the the appellant court decision on rule/judgement?

How do I continue appealing though judgement was incorrect on part of the appellant?

Judgement: though I followed the law case was turned in the court decision because statement stated judgement of judge ruled emotionally.

Though law was followed the appellant court judged in favor of the court against emotionally rule.

Though this was not the orginal reason of appeal, the appeal court used this excuse to weigh more than reason of vechicle code 21806.

Having Statute of Limitations Extended

If 12 years ago, 1996, someone was arrested for a speeding violation and jailed until bail for allegedly “eluding an officer” but has now discovered that (1) there was no evidence for the “eluding an officer” charge (2) the officer’s conduct in pursuing this person was both overly excessive and dangerous as it put at risk the safety of other drivers and (3) the victim was not read his rights when arrested or formally told why he was being arrested, could this ‘out of state’ case be now brought to court by, in some legal way, having the “statute of limitation” waive or “extended” to be tried under claims of ‘false and/or unlawful “arrest” and “imprisonment.”

Interest owed on a Paid Judgement

Are there additional interest incurred after a garnishment is paid in full (including fees & daily interest from the date of writ is issued)? I had a judgement against me for $8305.06. The amount of the withholding order was $8516.65. I paid this amount in full over a 2 1/2 year period through garnishments of my payroll check. Now 3 yrs later, the debtor issued another wage garnishment to collect on interest from the orignal order which was paid in full. Can they do this?

Plaintiff appeal in rape/sexual assault

In the year 2007, a woman I know (currently, but not at the time of the incident) was raped pretty brutally. She sustained some pretty bad injuries during the assault and required surgery.

The criminal case was taken to trial in front of a judge (with no jury). The rapist was convicted but only was sentenced to a halfway house and work release. However, I understand that the judge in the first trial stated that the woman could appeal if she was still having nightmares about the rape one year later; needless to say, she still is and is terrified.

During the first trial, some important testimony that I feel should have been brought up was not presented. Important arguments were not made. The surgeon that helped her recover was out of town at the time.

With this in mind, is it legal for this woman to appeal the decision and try to get a jury trial? She says that she really wants to, and I understand that the judge in the first trial said it was possible for her to appeal under a certain circumstance. However, I am not sure if this is the case. Can this woman appeal the decision and try to get a jury trial? If so, what has to be done for that to happen?

appeals

I went through a 3 week med mal trial this past summer which we unfortunately lost, my attorney has appealed the case (which he did in a timely manner)

He has now informed me that he is out of funds basically and does not have the money to continue with an appellate lawyer and that he does not have experience with appellate issues. In a round about way I think he is trying to quit and I of course am not ready to give up because there were a lot of things done wrong through the trial. What rights do I have and is there any help out there from appellate lawyers willing to help out in a zero verdict case? This has been told to me that my cases verdict was a miscarriage of justice (by my attorney and other attorneys and even my sons neurologist who has nothing to gain from any of this)

We know that the defendant lawyers did not think that they would win that they thought it was a slam dunk case for us

filing an appeal

how do i file for an appeal ?

Court Filing

I'm a student studying Media Law and trying to find out where ''Reno v.ACLU' was first filed. But I can't determine if it was filed at a District court in PA. or an Appellate court since it ended up going to the US Supreme court. Can a case from a District court go directly to the Supreme court without going through an Appellate court?

A final decision by a Judge

If a judge makes a decision on a case, dose it go through than you appeal or can you appeal before it goes through ?

My mother had a hearing in March about her IHSS hours and a decision was make in favor. Her worker is going to appeal the Judges decision on the case. Dose the Decision that was made go through and than they can appeal or can they hold the decision until they appeal. We have call the state and no one seems to know any legal step that are needed in this case. The worker stated that this is the first case in or county that is being totally denied by a worker. In need of some one to help!

questionable judgement

Recently, we first won a case for $5000 in small claim court then lost in the appeal by defendant. Even though we understand the judgment is final, we strongly feel the judgment ordered by appeal court is unfair and questionable. Who we can write a letter to for getting our voice being heard? (Governor?) Can you request the case be reviewed? thank you
