Federal Court Practice in the District of Vermont
Gary D Mc Questen of Barre, VT practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the District of Vermont (DVT), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from Burlington, VT and the surrounding territory comprising the DVT.
The principal courthouse for the DVT is located at 11 Elmwood Avenue, Burlington, VT 5401 (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.
Gary D Mc Questen's juvenile practice in the DVT typically involves matters governed by the district's juvenile 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: Second Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in Vermont are reviewable on direct appeal by the Second Circuit, sitting in New York, NY. Gary D Mc Questen'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 Second Circuit's local circuit rules. Juvenile appeals from the DVT are docketed at the Second Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.
