Federal Court Practice in the District of Delaware
Erin Brignola of Bear, DE practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the District of Delaware (DDE), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from Wilmington, DE and the surrounding territory comprising the DDE.
The principal courthouse for the DDE is located at 844 North King Street, Wilmington, DE 19801 (official court website). Filings in this district are subject to the district's local civil and criminal rules in addition to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Erin Brignola's construction practice in the DDE typically involves matters governed by the district's construction caseload, including pretrial motion practice, discovery scheduling under the district's standing orders, and trial proceedings before an Article III district judge or a magistrate judge by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
Appellate Path: Third Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in Delaware are reviewable on direct appeal by the Third Circuit, sitting in Philadelphia, PA. Erin Brignola's federal practice may include direct merits appeals under Fed. R. App. P. 4, petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc under Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, and — in qualifying matters — petitions for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States under Sup. Ct. R. 10.
Federal appellate practice differs materially from state-court appellate practice: briefing length, standards of review (de novo, clear error, abuse of discretion, plain error), and oral-argument allotments are governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Third Circuit's local circuit rules. Construction appeals from the DDE are docketed at the Third Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.
What Construction Practice Looks Like in Delaware
A construction matter in DDE typically begins with a complaint, indictment, or petition that triggers strict deadlines under the applicable federal rules. Erin Brignola guides clients through each procedural milestone — initial disclosures, scheduling conferences, dispositive motions, discovery cutoffs, and pretrial conference orders — that distinguish DDE practice from analogous state-court litigation in Delaware.
