Hello this is Judge Burton, I will be presiding over this case.

This incident occurred more than an entire month before the appeal was filed. I will give the defendant 72 hours to provide reasoning as to why this should not be dismissed on the grounds that it is wildly outside the standard statute of limitations for appeals.

So is the order of the Court,
Judge Sam Burton

Your Honor,
I have been contacting the DOJ for information on how to get this docket nearly daily for over 20 days, several times a day, and I was unable to get in touch with any clerk until the evening of 5/31/26 - when I was waiting at the court house for someone to walk in so I could just ask in person. Please feel free to pull all phone records for 554-4124 to see calls to DOJ and Lawyer lines. Texts were also sent along with reaching out on social media platforms.

On 4/25/26, Aysa (last name unknown) was present while I was in the holding cell, and after my arrest she requested information be sent to her. I sent the information to her via text under the impression that I would be contacted again. Further attempts at reaching out were met with silence until about 2 weeks ago. I ran into her and she apologized and stated I would get bumped so she could get a docket done.

I ran into Aysa several days after that and was told that there had been no luck and so I continued my pursuit to bring this to court on my own.

Since this docket has been created, I have continued to try to contact lawyers for advice in how to proceed moving forward. Furthermore, I now may have a lead on a potential lawyer for this case to represent me. It has been a difficult and long journey thus far, and if I didn't firmly believe that injustice has been done, I would have pled guilty and dropped it.

Sincerely,
Cali Jaye
Defendant

While I do understand that you may have struggled to gather the necessary information to file your own appeal, that is not sufficient grounds to waive statute of limitation in this case. I would understand and be willing to work with you if it took a few days over the two weeks allotted to file an appeal, but more than three weeks AFTER the two week period is simply too long. Despite the fact that according to your filing some of the blame does lay with your previous lawyer, after not hearing back from them for over a week it would have been reasonable to infer that you needed a new lawyer or to self represent. Waiting over 3 weeks to do so is simply not reasonable.

This case is hereby dismissed.

So is the order of the Court,
Judge Sam Burton

Your Honor,
I did not have the knowledge to pursue this any sooner. I used all means available to me. I did not wait 3 weeks for any action, it took me 3 weeks to have the means to do the action. I followed every possible lead every single day. It honestly just took me this long to get in touch with anyone who had access to the docket system.
I did not only not hear back from my lawyer, but ANY lawyer in that time frame, nor any clerk, nor did my number get a call back from the times I handed it to people who could help with this. If the case is dismissed, so be it, however it should not be dismissed on my lack of inaction as there are not enough hours in the day for me to have done more.
