N.C. R. Prac. Super. & Dist. Ct. 13

As amended through June 18, 2024

Rule 13 - Notice of Appeal

13.1 When notice of appeal is given in open court, the clerk will duly note the Notice of Appeal and the presiding judge may review the conditions of release pursuant to N.C.G.S. 15A-1431. If the Defendant gives written notice of appeal subsequent to the sentencing date, but within the statutory time period, the Clerk shall duly note the appeal and immediately attempt to make contact with the defendant's attorney, the District Attorney and the sentencing judge for a determination as to whether conditions of release should be modified or whether conditions of pretrial release will remain the same. After due diligence, if the sentencing judge is unavailable, the Clerk shall make contact with the Chief District Court Judge for a determination as to whether conditions of release should be modified or whether they will remain the same. lf the clerk is not able to make contact with the appropriate judicial official, the conditions of pretrial release shall remain the same as previously ordered. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that appropriate conditions of pre-trial release are entered promptly, without undue delay for any individual that properly gives notice of appeal.
