Appellate Path: Ninth Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in Guam are reviewable on direct appeal by the Ninth Circuit, sitting in San Francisco, CA. Frederick Black'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 Ninth Circuit's local circuit rules.
