Best Answer

In the US, a magistrate does not have the authority to overturn a trial court judges' ruling. If there was a trial and the Judge made an error, you can appeal within a certain amount of time. You would appeal to the state Appellate Court or Supreme Court, depending on how the state's courts are organized.

However, not liking the trial judge's ruling is not grounds for appeal. There must be a legitimate legal basis, such as misapplication of the law. If you believe you have grounds for appeal, you should speak with your lawyer immediately.
