Should you file a motion for reconsideration?

Published 2020-02-12
After your criminal appeal is denied by the Georgia Court of Appeals or Georgia Supreme Court, you have 10 days to file a motion for reconsideration. When will the court grant a motion for reconsideration?

    by the way.... thank you for this video. refreshing to hear another venue of the legal spectrum!, not enough videos covering Criminal Rules of Evidence.
  • These videos are on point i have learned a lot about motion, law etc by looking at these helpful videos. keep posting thanks
  • when you file things like motions for considerations, contempt, motion to modify an order, etc, do you have to have the person served each time if it is on the same case (this is wisconsin).

    How to file motion of reconsideration with magistrate court? Clerk of courts seem like this is unheard of
  • @johningram1920
    How about how to appeal or reopen a case; from a Municipal court, hard to find info due to the fact municipal courts are not state courts. A Home Depot store manager lied in court, I have a subpoenaed store video that shows that she lied. The video was not shown at my trial due to the prosecutor stating that he could not upload it. My appeal window is closing. Thanks for what you do,

    My question comes from another state. Federal civil matter. Can’t find the answer in their rule of procedure.pdf. Can this motion to reconsider, be filed after say a partition motion to dismiss? If you don’t agree with partial defendants being dismissed? Or is this something you file after a trial or summary judgment?
  • @leilabela8397
    Can I use this motion after pre-trial and before jury trial if the judge said I was not allowed to file a countersuit or use any of the evidence that I have showing that the plaintiff has been sued in class action lawsuits for having lied about other debts owed to them the judge seems to be on their side big time and he just threw out all my evidence saying news articles and prior court cases against plaintiff are not admissible and my counter claim he said he didn't have time for and I wanted to file something to have him reconsider
  • I know you stated you are a criminal appeals lawyer but I have an ongoing civil case in GA. Appeal was denied (petition for review) in less than 24 hrs by Superior Court. The judge’s decision and his legal references are all over the place and seem made up with one reference that is unmistakably not correct. He claimed specifically that Superior Court has no jurisdiction over the case due to it being an Art. 6 probate court. Most importantly the law for Petition for Review (5-3-1 thru 5-3-21) clearly states the reviewing court should have already transferred the case for proper jurisdiction and “petition for review should not be immediately dismissed.” Our county is 150 of 159 in GA based on size and clearly not an Art. 6 court. This is a small town case with small town politics in play. My request for reconsideration was filed with the same Superior Court on 4/15/24. Can Superior Court just ignore the motion for reconsideration filed? How long does the reviewing court have to decide?
  • @clarenceshed311
    could a reconsideration motion be opening brief in the court of appeals?

  • @Emidnam1976
    Is it appropriate to file a motion for reconsideration, when the court didn't hold a "Hearing" and determined probable cause based on a single law enforcement report that the supplemental narrative contradicts as to the merits, that recently that law enforcement officer officially acknowledges discrepancies per the prosecutor's request, that are significant to the merit ability of the case itself? it should be noted that the admission to the discrepancy, has only been submitted to the officer's office, not the courts, thus fat anyway. Can the determination be argued on the forth and sixth amendments, as well as the grounds, that have now been amended by sworn statement?

  • @GMLwholesale
    Does the judge have to explain why he will not reconsider or do they just say no?
