My question involves court procedures for the state of: North Carolina
I appealed a small claims judgment and got a release from the plaintiff, but the lower court judgment wasn't removed.
The appeal is supposed to be a Trail De Novo (New trial) and cancel out the original from what I understand.
I talked to a lawyer who said it was an issue with the courts recording system. He also said to remove it one could prepare and order
and meet with the judge in Chambers. I guess the order is to direct the clerk to fix the records?
Could someone expand on this? I would like to know how to go about meeting with the judge and drafting the order.
Thanks
