Is Plote now appealing their contempt verdict?


Appears that Plote is taking the case  to a higher court based upon the filings of March 18, March 7 and March 4.  Is this an attempt to delay the case until there is a new States Attorney (December 1, 2016)?  Then with the new States Attorney can decide to drop the case.
