A New York Notice of Appeal is a legal document that is filed with the appellate court by a party in a case who wishes to appeal a lower court decision. This document notifies the court that an appeal is being taken from the judgment or ruling of a lower court. It also states the grounds or reasons for the appeal, as well as the relief sought. There are two types of New York Notice of Appeal: criminal and civil. A criminal Notice of Appeal is filed when a party wants to appeal a criminal conviction or sentence from the lower court. A civil Notice of Appeal is filed when a party wants to appeal a civil ruling from the lower court. In New York, the Notice of Appeal must include the name of the appellate court, the name and address of the party filing the appeal, the case number, and the title of the lower court decision being appealed. The Notice of Appeal must also identify the relief being sought, such as a reversal of the lower court decision, a new trial, or a modification of the judgment. The Notice of Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the lower court decision.
