Kentucky Court Appeal Guidance
Summary
In Kentucky, appealing a district courts docket sheet order involves addressing hearsay accusations and judicial conduct. The appellant, acting pro se, should draft an appeals brief with sections on the issue, facts, arguments, and conclusion. The brief should highlight improper swearing-in of witnesses, hearsay issues, due process concerns, and judicial conduct. A motion to consolidate appeals can be filed if there are related cases. Additionally, a motion for enlargement of time may be necessary if filing errors occur. Its advisable to maintain a formal tone in legal pleadings and seek legal advice if needed.Full Conversation
i already tried to motion for a rehearing and for the order to be vacated, but the court stated that because the case was dismissed, there is no order or finding to vacate.

Additionally, the appellant was not present at the hearing due to being informed that no district case would be opened because of an ongoing family court case.

is it better, since i am pro-se, to write my pleadings in 1st person? or is it better to stick with the conventional 3rd person writing?
Case Rating: *
When writing legal pleadings, it's generally better to stick with conventional 3rd person writing. It maintains a formal tone and avoids personal bias.

please include in the most appropriate section the fact that while said "docket sheet order" states "the issues may also be property addressed in [Parties'] custody case, the judge has denied the appellant/complaining-witness/petitioner's motion (in the family case) to serve written interrogatory upon the government again to discover the source and nature of the hearsay allegations, and note that the appellant has motioned the family court for reconsideration of this and additional relevant items (and motioned for the more recent appeal to be held in abeyance pending ruling on the reconsideration motions).

Motion to Consolidate Appeals
Appellant respectfully moves this Court to consolidate the current appeal with another appeal (#*-MR) filed more recently, which involves rulings by the same judge in the family case. Appellant contends that there is a pattern of prejudicial concerns in both cases. The appellant also notes that the more comprehensive appeal (#*-MR) has a pending motion to hold it in abeyance pending family court ruling.
In the event that this Motion to Consolidate is denied, the appellant submits the attached brief addressing the issues in the current appeal.
Attached Brief:
*. Identify the Issues
- The primary issue on appeal is the district court’s “docket sheet order” which improperly memorialized several hearsay accusations made against the appellant by a government agent who was not properly sworn in. Additionally, the appellant was not present at the hearing due to being informed that no district case would be opened because of an ongoing family court case.
*. Statement of Facts
- The appellant filed a complaint against the child’s mother based on the child’s report of inappropriate behavior.
- The district court held a hearing where neither party was present.
- A government agent, not properly sworn in, made several hearsay accusations against the appellant during this hearing.
- The district court issued a “docket sheet order” summarizing the hearing with de-facto findings.
- While the “docket sheet order” states "the issues may also be properly addressed in [Parties'] custody case," the judge has denied the appellant/complaining-witness/petitioner's motion (in the family case) to serve written interrogatory upon the government to discover the source and nature of the hearsay allegations.
- The appellant has motioned the family court for reconsideration of this and additional relevant items, and motioned for the more recent appeal to be held in abeyance pending ruling on the reconsideration motions.
- In a family court hearing on March 1st, * (at video time code *:*), the judge states that the docket sheet order does not state findings but instead simply states allegations and does not mention that the allegations are hearsay, while the judge goes "out of its way" to point out "hearsay" in the appellant's affidavit requesting reconsideration. This illustrates a pattern of apparent double standards where the court restricts the appellant from submitting evidence while appearing to welcome irregular and improper testimony and evidence in support of the other parent.
- The appellant’s motions for rehearing and to vacate the order were denied on the grounds that the case was dismissed, and thus no order or finding existed to vacate.
*. Argument
- Improper Swearing-in of Witness: The government agent was not properly sworn in, making their testimony inadmissible under Kentucky law.
- Hearsay Accusations: The accusations made were hearsay and should not have been considered by the court.
- Due Process: The appellant was not provided due process as they were not present at the hearing and were informed that no district case would be opened.
- Judicial Conduct: The video record of the hearing shows the judge making statements with attempted humor at the expense of the appellant, which undermines the fairness and impartiality required in judicial proceedings.
*. Conclusion
- The appellant respectfully requests that the appellate court:
- Vacate the district court’s “docket sheet order.”
- Remand the case for a proper hearing with sworn testimony and presence of all parties.
- Ensure that judicial conduct adheres to standards of fairness and impartiality.
