The Arizona Optional Appealed Statement of Election to Proceed in District Court is a document that provides an option for an appealed to choose a district court as the forum to decide a case. This document is used by expellees when they have received notice of an appeal from the lower court’s decision. There are two types of Arizona Optional Appealed Statements of Election to Proceed in District Court: an original statement and an amended statement. The original statement is filed by the appealed to choose the district court as the forum for the appeal. An amended statement must be filed if the appealed chooses to amend their original statement. The amended statement can be used to add additional parties or to change the nature of the original statement. Both the original and amended statement must be filed with the district court to proceed with the appeal.
