Q: How does one file a notice of appeal judgment
Katie Marie Charleston
Katie Marie Charleston answered on Aug 11, 2021

This will depend on whether your case is a state or federal case. I am licensed in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals (federal), but not the state of Colorado. Either way there are time and procedural requirements to file your appeal. You should consult an attorney to guide you through the process.

First, I am not a NC attorney. That being said, I suppose you could file another motion for a temporary stay. But that motion will probably be denied as the first one was, unless you can show a material change in your favor.

I would not file anything without first having a lawyer review it as your filing is likely a violation of the automatic stay. Before you file anything anywhere, you likely will need to seek relief from the stay in Florida.

you need to find an attorney. As you may have a possible civil case, contact the ACLU, ask to talk to someone who handles "police misconduct" cases, ask them for names of their "cooperating attorneys." Speak to one or more of those.

You entered a guilty plea--generally, a charge for which you plead guilty cannot be appealed. If you have any cause to set aside that guilty plea, that has to be done in the trial court.
