What you want is not an appeal.

It's a Motion for Rule to Show Cause (better known as a contempt).

You would file it with the court. The court would set a hearing to give him an opportunity to explain why he has not complied w/the court's order.

If his excuses aren't "good enough," he likely would be found in contempt, ordered to complete the process and ordered to pay your attorney fees incurred in pursuing the action.
