Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Motion to vacate

Where do I file the motion to vacate

a judgment? The original judgment

was from the circuit court 18th

county of brevard in Florida. Do I file

it with the same court or does it go

to a higher court? Where do I file

the appeal to the judgment?

Re: Motion to vacate

I'm not a FL attorney. Generally, one would file a motion to vacate the judgment in the same court in which a judgment is entered.

An appeal, on the other hand, would follow FL procedures, with which I am not familiar. In CA, one files the notice of appeal in the trial court. I am sure that like CA, FL has time limits for doing so, so consult with -- or repost for -- a FL attorney immediately.
