The appellate rules of procedure are codified and must be strickly adhered to when filing appeals. You should be cautioned that the federal courts have adopted a process which mandates online filing. You may need leave of court to file papers. You should consult an attorney immediately to assist you through this process.

Speak to an attorney immediately. There are many many many pitfalls. I would not even dare do one of these myself and I am an attorney. You need an attorney who does appeals to do it for you.

The appellate record needs to be examined because what is in the record already sets the stage for what can be done next. The answer to your question may take several hours of legal research. You do not state what the outcome was. Why? And to decide what the next step will be needs to be really fast because the appeal deadline clock is running
