A Notice of Appeal must be filed in the Columbia County District Court within the loner (1) 30 days after the entry of the decision of the Court which the party filing the Notice wants reviewed, or (2) the time provided by statute as described in RAP 5.2e.
The final decision of a District/Municipal Court Judge may be appealed in the following types of cases: Civil Matters; Criminal Traffic or Criminal Non-Traffic Matter; and Contested Hearings on an Infraction. The law does not provide for right to appeal after a mitigation hearing on an infraction.
No later than 14 days after you file the Notice of Appeal, you must complete the designation of the Record on Appeal form. This form tells the District/Municipal Court which portions of the record you want sent to the Superior Court.
Appeal packets are available in the Columbia County District Court.
