Can I appeal a magistrate’s decision?

Yes.  Any appeal or objection of a magistrate’s decision must be filed within a specific number of days of the court’s file stamped date on the order.    A transcript of the hearing, from which the appeal is being filed, is usually required by the judge in order to review the decision made by the magistrate at the previous hearing.   The cost of the transcript will be the responsibility of the person filing the appeal.  The judge, upon a filed motion, may allow you to submit an audio recording in place of the transcript.
