New York Appealed Article 78 (Application For Poor Person Relief Assignment of Counsel And Or Extension of Time To Perfect Appeal) is a legal document that enables individuals to have legal representation, or to extend the time they have to appeal a case, even if they cannot afford to pay for legal services. It is an application for poor person relief, which is a form of relief that is granted to those who cannot pay for legal fees. The relief may include the assignment of counsel, an extension of time to perfect the appeal, or both. There are two types of New York Appealed Article 78 Applications: an Application for Assignment of Counsel and an Application for Extension of Time to Perfect Appeal. The Application for Assignment of Counsel seeks the appointment of a lawyer to represent the petitioner's interests in court. The Application for Extension of Time to Perfect Appeal seeks to extend the time period for the petitioner to file an appeal. Both applications require the petitioner to provide evidence of their inability to pay for legal services.
