A.J. walks around the corner to find a whole wall of freshly painted graffiti and spray paint cans on the ground. He picks one up to put it in the trash just as the patrolman is walking around the corner to give A.J. an ordinance violation ticket.A.J. was sentenced to the fine of $500 for the dog waste and community service hours until he removes all of the graffiti. He is going to appeal his sentence and will appeal his case to which court?

Answer 1

Answer: A.J. is going to appeal his sentence and will appeal his case to the United States Court of Appeals.

Explanation: If A.J. is unhappy with his local/state court decision, he may appeal the decision in his state’s Court of Appeals. The US Courts of Appeals decide appeals from courts in their respective federal districts within its federal judicial circuit (or area).
