Well, what I really need to know is if I file a "petition for rehearing" in the appellate, or a petition for review in the cal.supr.ct., and how many days do I have to file the petition or review? Or, can I go back to the superior court and file another complaint since my appeals were denied on technicalities? Also, the court keeps back-dating entries, e.g., the "jacket denial" has a date of 5/15/07, but it was not there on 5/24/07, and nothing was mailed to me that said "jacket denial." I did get a one page dismissal with one phrase that said, "appeal denied." That entry has disappeared from the court docket. My claims are in Los Angeles Sup.Ct. BC-341721 and BC-341498; copy and paste the links below should you wish to read some details.
