You appear to want us to write for free a brief appealling a decision in which we have absolutely no idea what was involved. How do you expect to get any answer?

Nice try, no brass ring. If you intend to file an appeal, assuming you are timely in doing so, you'll need far more than a few free handy hints from here. Appeals require review and analysis of the entire trial transcript and records, to determine what grounds and arguments may be properly raised, research of the law for preparation of the pleadings [briefs and replies to opposition briefs] and argument to the appeals court. Unless you are experienced and effective in pleadings and representing yourself in court, hire an attorney who is.

Unlike Mr, Shers and Mr. Stone, I don't think you're trying to get help with an actual appeal. I believe instead that you're trying to get us to answer a homework assignment for you. Either way, you're out of luck.
