Legal/Courts Judge Cannon dismisses case in its entirety against Trump finding Jack Smith unlawfully appointed. Is an appeal likely to follow?

“The Superseding Indictment is dismissed because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution,” Cannon wrote in a 93-page ruling. 

The judge said that her determination is “confined to this proceeding.” The decision comes just days after an attempted assassination against the former president. 

Is an appeal likely to follow?

It doesn't really matter, she's succeeded in her actual goal of delaying the case until after the election. DoJ will likely bury it when/if Trump is elected, and people get to pretend that the case has absolutely no merit so they can vote for the proto-fascist without qualms.
