1-year appeal period in USA. In the Philippines? RTC to SC -- 10 to 13 yrs.

"x x x.

We are frequently asked how long does an appeal take. While the answer is variable – appeals in some complex cases are literally held for years, and some emergency appeals are decided in hours – there are general answers. Overall, the average time from appeal to final disposition was just under a year (11.7 months) in 2010, which was five months faster than the same number in 2009. The Sixth Circuit averages 15.5 months from the filing of the notice of appeal to the final disposition. As we’ve previously reported, only the Ninth Circuit takes longer (16.3 months). The Fourth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits are the fastest, taking just over nine months from beginning to end.
