Rule 6.108 Appeals authorized by statute or rule

If a law or court rule gives you the right to appeal something other than a final decision in your case, you still start the process the same way. You file a notice of appeal, following the same steps laid out in rule 6.102.

The one extra thing you need to do is point out exactly which law or rule gives you the right to appeal. Your notice of appeal has to name that specific statute or rule. This helps the court understand why you're allowed to appeal at this point, since you're not appealing a final judgment. Leaving this out could cause problems with your appeal, so make sure you identify the correct legal basis when you file.
