Can an harassment injunction overturned by appeal, be appealed?
I filed for an harassment restraining order and was granted a 2-year injunction. The respondent has filed an appeal but I received the court order with such short notice that I haven’t been able to get the information that I need for the new date. If the original finding is overturned and the injunction lifted, will I as the plaintiff, be allowed to appeal the result of the appeal by the respondent?

This is a "procedural" question rather than a legal question and it is best asked to an attorney in your state who is familiar with the procedural law. Now, generally speaking you can continue to "appeal" decisions throughout your state system and then to the Supreme Court of the United States, should they grant a hearing on the matter. There are instances, though, where certain types of matters can not be appealed, but that generally deals with mediation and arbitration issues and the parties agree to the limitations contractually before hand. That is not really what applies here. You can call your local bar association and ask about a consultation with an attorney there (sometimes they are free or at a reduced rate). Good luck.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
