Superior Court Caption example - defendant and appellant

This is a superior court caption example used in Butte County showing that YOU are defendant and appellant. This is a TRIAL DE NOVO not an appeal per se. New witnesses, new evidence, new trial - all the things a trial are permitted. Technically, you are just the defendant. A TRIAL DE NOVO is requested, not filed. These are all technical issues that can get you into trouble if you are plaintiff vs. defendant. YOU could create a copy of the "caption" (a caption is the term used for the cover page of a court document).
