New York Appeal From DMV Hearing Determination is the process of appealing an unfavorable decision from a New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hearing. This appeal must be submitted within 30 days of the DMV hearing decision. There are two types of appeals: Administrative Review and Court Review. An Administrative Review is a review of the DMV hearing decision by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles or his/her designee. A Court Review is a review of the DMV hearing decision by a Supreme Court Justice. The appeal must include a statement of facts, relevant legal arguments, and citations to applicable law. Once the appeal is filed, the DMV will respond to the appeal and a hearing may be scheduled. The appellant has the right to be represented by an attorney and to present evidence and witnesses. The decision of the Administrative Review or Court Review will be based on the evidence presented.
