Sedgwick County District Court in Kansas ruled on a criminal case on June 22,to date the defendant hasn't heard from his lawyer,who was present for the ruling. Defendant wants to know what his options are as far as filing notice of appeal and/or K.S.A. 1507.Defendant is an inmate.How many days after a criminal case ruling does the defendant have to file a notice of appeal?
Has he been convicted and sentenced yet?
If he has been sentenced or if sentencing has been suspended, he has 10 days:

There are other relevant provisions you need to check as well:

Call the lawyer, and find out what kind of ruling it was. It may be appealable but the lawyer doesn't believe it will succeed, or it may not be appealable at all. If he thinks the lawyer isn't doing his job he can always find another one.
