Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California

Re: Appellant decision-Traffic

Your question is convoluted as worded. It is not clear whether you are seeking review of a decision of the court of appeal or are trying to appeal from a judgment rendered from a trial court. If you are seeking review of a decision of the court of appeal you have to file a petition for review in the California Supreme Court "A petition for review must be served and filed within 10 days after the Court of Appeal decision is final in that court under rule 8.264."(California Rules of Court 8.500 subd.(e).) "Except as otherwise provided in this rule, a Court of Appeal decision, including an order dismissing an appeal involuntarily, is final in that court 30 days after filing." (California Rules of Court 8.264 subd.(b).)

This provides a party with time to decide whether to move for reconsideration and rehearing or petition for review by the Supreme Court like the United States Supreme Court the California Supreme Court has the discretion to determine the cases it is going to hear. That means if the Supreme Court does not think that your petition for review concerns an important matter of law they will deny your petition for review and the decision of a Court of Appeal will become final.

Petitions for review are very tricky and I suggest that you consult with a skilled appellant attorney before attempting to proceed to the California Supreme Court on your own.

Very truly yours;
