COMMON FAQs
-
Generally, no. If you entered into a plea agreement in the district court, you have waived your right to appeal the judgment or sentence. However, there may be some limited circumstances in which you can still file an appeal, and it is best to consult with an attorney to determine whether this is possible in your case.
-
The process for filing a Georgia federal appeal involves preparing and filing a notice of appeal with the district court, which must be done within the applicable time frame. The party filing the appeal must then file a brief with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals outlining the arguments for why the district court’s decision should be overturned. There may also be oral arguments before the court.
