Monteiro Appeal Filed by Cambridge

Bob La Trémouille reports:

Today, June 14, 2010, Cambridge filed notice of appeal in Malvina Monteiro v. City of Cambridge. We have given quite a few reports on this case. The most important case paper can be accessed from the link in the upper right corner which reads: “Monteiro Judge on Cambridge: Reprehensible.”

The following is the notice of appeal from the on line docket. The on line docket uses software which destroyed paragraphing. ALL the below paragraphing is my best guess. To the extent extraneous numbers appear in my quote, please let me know about them. They would be line numbers that I missed in the edit.

Please also note that the software loses a lot of punctuation / emphasis. I have made no attempt to correct these errors.

It is highly likely that the below quote is just the title. There may have been other matters filed as part of the document.
