(a) A Yurok Trial Court may set an appellate schedule for any matter at the close of hearing. Failure to set a specific schedule will result in these rules applying to any appeal from any such hearing.

(b) Where a Trial Court has not set an appellate schedule an appeal must be filed within 10 court days from the decision of the Trial Court. If said decision is not made in open court with the parties present or having been ordered to be present the appeal must be filed within 20 court days of the decision.

(c) The appeal filing must include a statement of reasons detailing the basis for the appeal. Such statement shall include a statement of facts supporting the appeal and any claimed error.

(d) The appeal must state whether a clerk’s transcript and/or reporter’s transcript is required. The Court Clerk will prepare or cause such record to be prepared.

(e) The appeal must be served on all parties, and must be served on the Office of the Tribal Attorney if the Tribe is not a party to the appeal. Proof of service must be filed with the Clerk. Failure to serve the parties and/or the Tribal Attorney may result in a dismissal of the appeal. [Ord. 48, amended, 1/6/2017; Ord. 26, amended, 4/1/2012; Ord. 19, amended, 10/22/2008.]
