Filing A Separate Appeal

Summary

For a new appeal, select Separate Appeal on the notice of appeal form. The Court to which appeal is taken is the appellate court with jurisdiction. Offense of which convicted refers to the crime you were found guilty of. Probation revocation is not a new conviction but a violation of probation terms, potentially leading to serving the original sentence.
