Additional Filings – California Appellate Courts
Check with your Court of Appeal to find out what the deadline is to file a request to reinstate the appeal in your case. The Court of Appeal only has jurisdiction – or legal authority – over a case for 30 days after the dismissal order. The Court of Appeal cannot extend the time to file a motion to reinstate your appeal.
The request to reinstate the appeal must be served to all parties in the case, and the trial court BEFORE it is filed in the Court of Appeal. Learn more about how to serve a request to reinstate the appeal
Is there a filing fee? There is no additional court cost to file a request to reinstate the appeal.
What do I include when writing a request to reinstate an appeal? There is no court form for a request to reinstate an appeal. Basically it has two required parts:

a cover page that includes general information about the parties (like contact information) and the appeal (like the case number)
a document that includes general information about the parties and the appeal, and an explanation of the reasons why a party is filing a request to reinstate the appeal.

How and when does the Court of Appeal make a decision on a request to reinstate the appeal? The Court of Appeal reviews the request to reinstate the appeal and decides what to do. The court has jurisdiction – or legal authority to make rulings – for 30 days after the date it issues a dismissal order. This means the court only has authority to rule on the request to reinstate an appeal for 30 days after the dismissal. Therefore, any request to reinstate the appeal should be filed as soon as possible after the dismissal.
 The Court of Appeal can respond to a request to reinstate the appeal in three ways:

the court can decide not to respond and take no action or
the court can deny the request to reinstate the appeal
the court can agree to reinstate the appeal and let the appeal proceed forward allowing the party a certain amount of time to fix their default

Note: Some Courts of Appeal prefer you file a petition for rehearing if your appeal was dismissed because of a non-appealable order or untimely appeal. Contact the Clerk’s Office at your Court of Appeal to determine which you file.
Appeal or pay | California Courts | Self Help Guide
If you don't appeal (or vacate) or pay after 30 days, the other side can start to try to collect money from you. 
If you want a new trial 
You can appeal if you went to the trial, the judge decided you owe money, and you want a new trial
A small claims appeal is a new trial where a different judge decides the case. You and the other side can have a lawyer at the court date.
How to appeal
You can ask to cancel the judge's decision if you didn't go to the trial
If the judge cancels the decision, it doesn't mean you win the case. It means you have a new trial.
How to vacate
If you weren't properly served the papers that started the case (the Claim), you have more time to ask to cancel the judgment. Learn more 
 
If the other side didn't serve you the Plaintiff's Claim and Order to Go to Small Claims Court (form SC-100) the right way or never served you at all, then you have 180 days from when you found out or should have found out about the judgment to file a request to cancel the judgment.

If you don't appeal or vacate: pay what you owe
If you don't appeal or ask to vacate, what you owe is due right away
Pay right away if you can. You will owe interest on any amount you don't pay.
If you pay the full amount, the other side must file an Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment (form SC-290). This is like a receipt of payment and lets the court know you paid the debt. 
Can I pay the court instead?
Yes. You can ask to pay the court directly by filing a Request to Pay Judgment to Court (form SC-145). The court will then send the money to the other side. The court charges a fee, usually $25.00, to process the payment and send it to the other side.

 
Can I make payments? 
If you can't pay all the money right now and the other side won't accept payments, you can ask the judge to let you make payments.

 3. File the original notice of appeal form APP-002 and proof of service with the trial court The court filing must include the original notice of appeal form APP-002 and original proof of service for all parties in the case.
The appellant should contact the trial court to ask about the specific filing rules and copy requirements in their appeal.
Each trial court has different rules about how to file documents. Some courts require electronic filing (e-filing) on the computer, some require paper filing in person at the court, and some courts give a choice of electronic or paper filing.
If filing on paper, the appellant should keep an extra copy of the notice of appeal and each proof of service. It is a good idea for the appellant to ask the trial court clerk to stamp “filed” on the extra copy of the notice of appeal to show that the original was filed.
 

Court Fees to File Notice of Appeal

The appellant must pay court fees when the notice of appeal is filed. The trial court clerk tells the appellant how much it will cost to file the notice of appeal. This includes a $775 filing fee payable to the Court of Appeal and a deposit payable to the trial court for the record of the case that will be sent to the Court of Appeal.
Filing fees and deposits can be paid by check or money order. Some courts may accept cash or credit card payment.
If an appellant cannot afford to pay for fees in the trial court or Court of Appeal, it is possible to apply for fee waivers. Learn more about fee waivers
Extra Time to File Notice of Appeal

The appellant cannot ask for more time to file a notice of appeal.
The Superior Court of California - County of Ventura - Family Law
An appeal is a request for a review of a courtâs decision by a different court. The court that 
 hears your appeal is known as a "higher court," an "appellate court," and/or a "reviewing court.â A party may appeal an 
 unfavorable judgment and certain orders in an unlimited civil case (such as a civil case involving an amount over $25,000 
 or a family law case) made in the Superior Court. Generally, the appeal must be based on an argument that a legal error 
 was made by the Superior Court. 
 

 To appeal from a Superior Court decision in a Family Law case, the appellant must file a Notice of Appeal in the Superior 
 Court Appeals Unit. A notice of appeal tells the other party in the case and the Superior Court that you are appealing the 
 decision of the Superior Court. You may use Judicial Council form Notice of Appeal/Cross-Appeal (Unlimited Civil Case) 
 (APP-002). 

 The Notice of Appeal must be filed within 60 calendar days after the mailing or personal service of notice of entry of 
 the judgment. If no notice was mailed or personally served, the Notice of Appeal must be filed within 180 calendar days 
 after entry of judgment by the court.
 

 The fee for filing an appeal from a Superior Court decision is $775.00 (Government Code section 68926 and 68926.1) payable 
 to the District Court of Appeal and $100 payable to the Ventura Superior Court as deposit for the cost of preparation of the 
 clerkâs transcript (Government Code Section 68926.1). Both checks must be presented to the superior court clerk at the time 
 that the Notice of Appeal is filed.
 

 Filing of a Notice of Appeal does not stop enforcement of the judgment. You must still comply with all court orders.

 Unlimited civil appeals, including Family Law and Probate matters, are heard in at the 2nd District Court of Appeal, Division 
 Six, 200 East Santa Clara Street, Ventura, CA 93001.

2. Notice of Appeal
The appeal process begins when the appellant files a notice of appeal with the trial court where the case was decided. This gives official “notice” to the court that the decision is being appealed.
The appellant must also serve – which means give – a copy of the notice of appeal to all parties in the case.
There are several steps to file a notice of appeal and it must be filed on time. The appeal will be dismissed if a notice of appeal is filed after the deadline.
Here’s an overview of what to expect in this step of the appeal process and how to prepare a notice of appeal.

When to File a Notice of Appeal
A notice of appeal can be filed as soon as there is a final judgment or appealable order. This is when the decision is rendered or entered, which is also called entry of judgment.
When this happens there will be:

a document called a Notice of Entry of the trial court judgment or appealable order or 
a document with the judgment or appealable order that is signed by the trial court judge and stamped “filed” by the court clerk or
in some situations, a clerk’s minute order may be considered an appealable order.

See a full list of appealable orders
If an appeal is filed before the judgment is entered, the appeal may be dismissed as premature – which means the appeal was filed too soon.
The Deadline to File a Notice of Appeal
A notice of appeal must be filed on time with the trial court or the appeal will be dismissed.
Notice of Appeal – California Appellate Courts
Note: You can only file handwritten documents with the court if you are representing yourself (you do not have an attorney) and you are not a licensed attorney.
 
 2. Serve a copy of the notice of appeal form APP-002 to all other parties The court requires the appellant to tell the other parties in the case about the appeal. The court calls this serving notice.
Who to serve. If there is more than one other party in the case, each party must be served with a copy of the notice of appeal.
If the other party has a lawyer, then the notice of appeal is served to the lawyer. If the other party does not have a lawyer, then the notice of appeal is served to the other party.
How to serve. There are three ways to serve notice: by mail, in person, or electronically. Anyone can be served by mail or in person, but a recipient must agree to be served electronically.
The court has rules about who can serve notice. The appellant may serve notice electronically (e-file). But if the notice of appeal is mailed or personally delivered, it must be done by a person who is over 18 and not a party to the case.
Proof of service. The appellant must give the court proof that the other parties were served with the notice of the appeal. Appellants are encouraged to use court form APP-009 (serve by mail or in person) or APP-009E (serve electronically) for proof of service. This form tells the court who served notice, who was served with notice, how notice was served, and the date notice was served.
The appellant must give the court one proof of service form for each notice of appeal that is delivered. All sections of the form must be completed and signed by the person who serves notice.
To save time and money, some appellants choose to have the notice of appeal form and the form for the next step in the process – notice designating the record – served to the other parties at the same time, but that is not required.

Tentative Rulings | Superior Court of California | County of Tulare
Each request for continuance must be considered on its own merits and is granted upon an affirmative showing of good cause.  (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1332(c); Hernandez, supra, 115 Cal.App.4th at 1246.)  
Circumstances that may indicate good cause include: 
(1) the unavailability of an essential lay or expert witness due to death, illness, or other excusable circumstances; 
(2) the unavailability of a party due to death, illness, or other excusable circumstances; 
(3) the unavailability of trial counsel due to death, illness, or other excusable circumstances; 
(4) the substitution of trial counsel where there is an affirmative showing that the substitution is required in the interests of justice; 
(5) the addition of a new party if (A) the new party has not had a reasonable opportunity to conduct discovery and prepare for trial, or (B) the other parties have not had a reasonable opportunity to conduct discovery and prepare for trial in regard to the new party’s involvement in the case; 
(6) a party’s excused inability to obtain essential testimony, documents, or other material evidence despite diligent efforts; or 
(7) a significant, unanticipated change in the status of the case as a result of which the case is not ready for trial.  (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1332(c).)
The court must also consider such relevant factors as: 
(1) the proximity of the trial date; 
(2) whether there was any previous continuance, extension of time, or delay of trial caused by any party; 
(3) the length of the continuance requested; 
(4) the availability of alternative means to address the problem that gave rise to the motion or application for a continuance; 
(5) the prejudice that parties or witnesses will suffer as a result of the continuance; 
(6) if the case is entitled to a preferential trial setting, the reasons for that status and whether the need for a continuance outweighs the need to avoid delay;

 	pending job offer, it will make it easier for you to find housing, etc.
How you have changed, and things you have done to help your community since the initial conviction.
Life goals and how they have been obstructed by the conviction.
What led you to offend, and how you have changed since that time


 	* If you are applying for relief under 
 	PC 1203.49 - external link, you must "establish by clear and convincing evidence that the conviction was a result of [your]
 	status as a victim of human trafficking."

Designating the Record – California Appellate Courts
The appellant takes the lead, but designating the record on appeal is equally important for the respondent. Both parties should focus on finding parts of the trial court record that support their arguments in the appeal.
There are many choices to make when designating the record on appeal. The process can be confusing and expensive. However, there are resources available to help and a lawyer can provide advice.
Here’s an overview of what to expect from this step of the process and guidance about how to get started.
You can also watch this step-by-step video on how to designate record on appeal and fill out a designating the record on appeal form online if you’re an appellant or if you’re a respondent.

Get designating the record forms
Deadline to Designate the Record on Appeal
Note: The form to designate the record on appeal must be served to all other parties in the case before it can be filed with the trial court.

The deadline for the appellant to designate the record on appeal is usually within 10 days after the appellant files notice of appeal with the trial court. The appellant is required to designate the record on appeal. If the appellant misses the deadline to file notice designating the record on appeal, the appeal can be dismissed. 
The deadline for the respondent to designate the record on appeal is usually within 10 days after the appellant files notice designating the record on appeal with the trial court. The respondent is not required to designate the record on appeal. However, the respondent may choose to designate the record on appeal to include information that helps their side of the appeal but that the appellant did not designate in the record on appeal.
Some Courts of Appeal may extend the 10-day deadline while determining if the case is eligible for mediation. If the case is deemed eligible for mediation, the court can delay the deadline to designate the record on appeal pending the result of mediation. Contact the clerk in the appellate department of your trial court if there’s a question about the deadline.

The Difference Between the Trial Court Record and the Record on Appeal
The trial court record is the official file of everything that happened during a case.
Additional Filings – California Appellate Courts
the court can decide not to respond and take no action or
the court can deny the request to reinstate the appeal
the court can agree to reinstate the appeal and let the appeal proceed forward allowing the party a certain amount of time to fix their default

Note: Some Courts of Appeal prefer you file a petition for rehearing if your appeal was dismissed because of a non-appealable order or untimely appeal. Contact the Clerk’s Office at your Court of Appeal to determine which you file. Learn more about a petition for rehearing
 
 Opposition to a Motion (Optional for Appellant and Respondent) A party generally has 15 days after a motion is filed by another party to challenge that motion. If the issue in a motion is time sensitive, the court may give an order with a waiting period of less than 15 days.
A party who wants to challenge a motion must write an opposition arguing against the motion and file a document with the Court of Appeal. The court will consider opposition but ultimately the court decides whether to grant or deny a motion.
All parties receive notice when the court makes a decision about the motion.
Note: A party can generally file opposition to any motion with a few exceptions. A party cannot file opposition to a petition for rehearing or a motion for sanctions unless the Court of Appeal requests opposition.
Read California Rule of Court 8.54
 

Here is general information about serving and filing documents with the court (choose a question to learn more):

 Who needs to receive a copy of motions and other filings? When do I serve documents to other parties? Always check with your court to confirm the specific filing and service requirements in your case. 
Generally, you must serve a copy of all documents to all parties in the case BEFORE you can file documents with the trial court and/or the Court of Appeal. 
If the other party has a lawyer, then the document is served to the lawyer. If the other party does not have a lawyer, then the document is served to the other party.
You may be required to serve documents to the trial court, the California Supreme Court, to a public officer or agency that is not a party to the case, or to the California Attorney General.
