What You Should Do Next
- 1
Consider filing post-decision motions
If the appellant believes there are grounds, file any timely and authorized motions under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331 (e.g., rehearing) within the applicable deadlines.
- 2
Consult appellate counsel
Because the appellant is pro se, consult an appellate attorney to evaluate whether procedural or substantive bases exist for rehearing or further review to the Florida Supreme Court.
- 3
Prepare for mandate or execution of judgment
If no further appellate relief is sought or motions are denied, prepare to comply with or respond to the circuit court's judgment as affirmed by the district court.
