How to Appeal a Military Court-Martial Conviction or Sentence
You appeal a military court-martial conviction to your service's Court of Criminal Appeals, then to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.This process runs under the Uniform Code of Military Justice(UCMJ), a federal system that applies nationwide, so New York state courts play no part. A conviction can cost you rank, pay, your freedom, and a clean record, so the real question is whether review can change that outcome. Military courts can do more than a civilian appeal allows, reviewing the facts and the sentence, not only legal error. This guide shows the grounds, the deadlines, and the courts involved, so you can decide whether to pursue review and how to protect your chances.

How Does the Corporate Tax Refund Process Work in New York?
A corporation that has overpaid can ask for the money back, but the request is examined rather than granted, and the two tax systems run on separate tracks. On the federal side, a refund claim must be filed within three years of filing the return or two years of paying the tax, whichever is later (26 U.S.C. § 6511). New York applies its own period under Tax Law § 1087, and where the overpayment follows a federal adjustment, Tax Law § 211(3) requires the corporation to report the final federal determination within ninety days — one hundred twenty for a combined filer — with the claim due within two years of that reporting deadline. Reporting late does not forfeit the tax, but interest stops being payable on the portion attributable to the federal change. Amended returns claiming substantial credits draw review more often than routine ones, and the records that supported the original return are usually what determines the outcome. Certain deductions carry strict substantiation requirements that cannot be satisfied after the fact, and a claim advanced without a reasonable basis exposes the taxpayer to a penalty of twenty percent of the excessive amount under § 6676. What counsel does in a refund matter is review the filed returns against the underlying records, identify the positions worth claiming and those that are not, assemble the substantiation that already exists, and represent the company if the claim is examined or denied.
