Answer:
When a final order is issued in a case, you may appeal to have the decision overturned or reversed. The specific form and procedure depend on the case type, such as whether it is state or federal, and whether it is civil or criminal. I cannot provide legal advice, but I recommend consulting a local attorney who can review your situation and documents.
We can help you find forms or add forms to our database if needed. However, we cannot advise you on which specific form to use when multiple forms address the same issue. If you search for appeal forms for your state, you will find various options. If those do not meet your needs, let us know, and we may be able to add a suitable form.

For North Carolina, the relevant statutes for civil appeals include:
- Rule 3: A notice of appeal must be filed with the clerk of superior court within 30 days after entry of judgment (N.C. R. App. P. 3).
- Rule 4: In criminal cases, notice of appeal must be filed within 14 days after the judgment (N.C. R. App. P. 4).
Make sure to follow the specific requirements for your case type and consult the relevant statutes for detailed procedures.
