Attorney case compensation maximums apply to each stage (level) of the proceedings of a case.  For example, appointed counsel has a case compensation maximum set for a case at the trial stage.  If the case is appealed after a plea or trial, a new case compensation maximum is set and if the case continues into habeas proceedings, another case compensation maximum applies.  Case compensation maximum amounts can be found in CJA Guidelines 230.23.20.  All case compensation limits apply to each appointed attorney in a case.  See CJA Guidelines 230.23.10(a) and (f).  Appointed counsel case compensation maximums do not apply to capital cases.  See CJA Guidelines 230.23.10(b).
