(CNN) -
Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán will appeal his conviction according to a motion filed by his attorney, Marc Fernich, in the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York on Friday night.
The document is a summary of the arguments that will be included in the appeal brief, according to Guzmán's lawyer, Mariel Colón.
The brief, which will be about 245 pages in length, will initially be filed under seal, but a redacted public version will follow about two weeks after prosecutors in the case have had a chance to review it and request adjustments, Colón told CNN.
According to the motion presented by Fernich, "Guzmán, alias El Chapo, appeals convictions for drugs, weapons and money laundering derived from his alleged leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel, supposedly the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world" and explains that the Appeals brief "raises 10 claims of legal error, several of which include a myriad of sub-arguments."

Guzmán's attorneys argue, among other things, that "excessive and punitive pre-trial restrictions," including isolation and solitary confinement, violated "El Chapo's rights to a defense attorney and a fair trial, and continue stating that 'the district court made a reversible error by refusing to investigate a report released after the verdict implicating jurors in widespread misconduct that defied their oath and instructions and rendered them incapable of serving: that is, seeking actively damaging extrinsic information, including inadmissible accusations that Guzmán drugged and raped underage girls, and secret collusion to cover it up.
On February 12, 2019, a jury found Guzmán guilty of 10 counts of drug trafficking, money laundering and weapons-related charges after a three-month trial that included the testimony of 56 witnesses, including 14 government cooperators, mostly drug dealers and cartel associates.
After the trial, VICE News published an interview with one of the anonymous jurors of the panel in which the person claimed that several of the jurors had not obeyed Judge Brian Cogan's orders to stay away from news reports about the case and denied having done so when asked by the judge.
Guzmán, a former leader of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, is currently serving a life sentence plus 30 years in the Supermax prison in Colorado.
