I was a defendant in an unlawful detainer trial. After this trial, I received a notice of minute order that specified the judge's rulings. This minute order was sent by a court clerk on 07/07/09. My questions are below: 1) What is the definition of that minute order? 2) Is this an entry of judgement, or a final judgement? 3) When should I file my appeal? 4) If there are more admissible evidences were not presented at the trial. Can I still submit them to the judge now?
Optional Information: State/Country of Question: California Already Tried: If the 3-day Notice was not served to me in this unlawful detainer case. Does this notice will bar the eviction? What should I do for this notice when I file my appeal.
Thanks for your question. Let's go through them.. 1) What is the definition of that minute order?Minutes are what occured at the hearing. They reflect the court's findings but there should alos be a signed order here. 2) Is this an entry of judgement, or a final judgement?No but the court should also have signed an order here and that would control. Make sure to do so asap because it it controls and starts meter running.. 3) When should I file my appeal? Check to see if the court signed an order. This starts the time running. See two above. Check for fianl order here to make sure they didn't already sign it here to preserve your appeal rights.. 4) If there are more admissible evidences were not presented at the trial. Can I still submit them to the judge now?No but you would submit this in appeal or motion for new hearing here. You have two avenues and can file both. Motion for new hearing is filed in trial court.Appeal to the court above thta hears such appeals..
