The California Notice of Appeal (Civil Limited) is a legal document used to initiate an appeal in California state courts. It is a required document in all civil appeals and must be filed with the trial court within 30 days of the final judgment or ruling. The Notice of Appeal is used to inform the trial court of the parties’ intention to appeal and the grounds for the appeal. It must include the names of the parties and the lower court case number, the appellate court to which the appeal is being made, and the specific issues being appealed. The Notice of Appeal must be signed by an attorney or a self-represented litigant. There are two types of California Notice of Appeal (Civil Limited): a Notice of Appeal for a judgment and a Notice of Appeal for an order. The Notice of Appeal for a judgment is used to appeal a decision or ruling that ends the trial court proceedings, while the Notice of Appeal for an order is used to appeal any other ruling or decision made by the trial court.
