Filing objections to rulings

Generally, if you object to a ruling your only option is to appeal. Your notice of appeal must be filed within a specific period after the order is entered based on the issue that the judge gave a ruling on. You can try a motion under Rule 59 or 60 of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure, but that generally only works if the written Order was inconsistent with the Judges ruling. The timelines for appeals are short, so if you are considering an appeal you need to meet with an attorney as soon as possible, or review a copy of the North Carolina Rules of Appellate procedure.
