Summary
The Asotin municipal code 6.24.015(b) outlines procedures for handling habitual animal complaints. It requires a written complaint, a determination, and an appeal process.

Why do you keep saying “might”?

Hey ****! I use "might" because legal outcomes can depend on various factors, including specific details of your case and local laws. Each situation is unique, so while it often seems like you have grounds for appeal, the final determination can depend on the specific circumstances and evidence presented.

Section b does not mention evidence and implies the determination will be guilty because it talks about appealing the determination that “must be made” directly after said determination is made, and it is made based on a written complaint and nothing else.
Case Rating: *
Hi ****! You raise a significant concern regarding the due process in Section b of Asotin municipal code *.*.*. The procedure outlined implies that a determination is made based on a written complaint alone, which may not fulfill the requirements of due process without additional evidence.
- Determination Based on Complaint: The code suggests that a determination is made following a written complaint.
- Appeal Process: The owner can appeal the determination, but the code does not explicitly mention the need for evidence in the initial determination.

I already have an attorney. He said the judge’s decision cannot be appealed.
Case Rating: *
Hey ****! Since you already have an attorney who advised the judge’s decision cannot be appealed, it seems like you’ve exhausted your options in this particular case. If you still feel that there’s an injustice or a procedural error, you might consider getting a second opinion from another legal professional.
Is there anything else you need assistance with?
