Q. Can you appeal the 9th Circuit court of appeals decision to the higher court?

December 21, 2023

A: Yes, the US Supreme Court. But an appeal to that Court is not as of right. You first have to petition the US Supreme Court to review your case--only if that petition is granted can you proceed with that appeal. That petition has strict rules and procedures, mostly described in the Supreme Court's website under Rules. The filing fee, in most cases, is $300.
