An adverse decision in federal district court is disappointing, but it does not necessarily mean that all is lost - there are several options for seeking further review in both the district court and the federal Courts of Appeals. But a disappointed party interested in pursuing these options must act quickly. As a recent 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision emphasizes, the deadlines for seeking further review are short, and missing them can cut off any chance of relief.
