Well, they didn’t actually notify the District Court judge. They simply filed a notice of appeal. The judge’s name was on it, because that’s how they caption cases in New Jersey. (Where I am, the judge’s initials appear in the caption. Strange though it may seem, while the federal judicial system appears to be unified, in the details it isn’t.)
That being said, Good for them.
So do they have to find an error of law in the lower court decision, or can they point out mistakes on the facts?
Goddamn it’s the civil rights era all over again. Do they not read history or if they do do they think we don’t, WTF?
