When is the ordinary Appellate Division appellant reply due?

Confirm the department and ordinary reply role. Do not substitute a cross-appeal response-and-reply brief.

Preserve personal service of the respondent’s submissions and check the actual appellate schedule.

Responsible actor. The appellant serving and filing an ordinary reply brief. An ordinary non-cross-appeal reply in the Second, Third or Fourth Department, with personal service and no different schedule or extension.

1. Confirm the department and ordinary reply role. Do not substitute a cross-appeal response-and-reply brief.
2. Preserve personal service of the respondent’s submissions and check the actual appellate schedule.
3. Exclude the established event day and count every intermediate calendar day under GCL 20.
4. File the reply brief with proof of service and complete the department’s electronic and hard-copy requirements.

GCL 20 excludes the established event day. These five-, ten-, fifteen-, twenty-, twenty-one-, thirty-, sixty- and ninety-day periods count intermediate calendar days. GCL 30 uses the corresponding calendar-month day, or the final day of a shorter month. GCL 58 defines a year as twelve months. GCL 25-a permits the next succeeding business day when the statutory final day is closed and expressly includes periods before which an act is required. The actual hearing or entry time and any different court direction remain separate checks. The independent calendar follows GCL 24 and Election Law 8-100. It includes Lincoln’s Birthday, the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, Juneteenth and general election day. GCL 24 adds the following day for a listed Sunday holiday except Flag Day. It does not generally move a Saturday holiday to Friday. Dates after 2027 are projections of the reviewed standing statute through 2033, not proof of future court openings. Check amendments, additional appointed holidays and actual closures separately.

The scoped calculators accept independently established events in 2026 and 2027 and projected final dates through 2033. They require the particular disclosed branch, no unsupported service-method addition, no unmodeled toll, no different actual court order and no additional closure. Earlier editions, historical tolls and outside dates require separate review and receive no computed or paid date. This software boundary does not establish that an act is legally late.

Fictitious example

An ordinary non-cross-appeal reply in the Second, Third or Fourth Department, with personal service and no different schedule or extension. Fictitious established facts. An ordinary non-cross-appeal reply in the Second, Third or Fourth Department, with personal service and no different schedule or extension.

Fictitious established facts. The date does not prove classification, valid service, jurisdiction, completed filing, a granted motion or an extension. Any earlier competing boundary, actual hour and future-calendar qualification still applies.

First Department

The published terms calendar supplies its filing schedule.

Cross-appeal response

An appellant-respondent’s combined response and reply ordinarily has thirty days under subdivision (f), not this ten-day period.

Extensions

Subdivision (g) recognizes actual qualifying extensions. Their completion and limits require separate review.

• Part 1245 governs applicable appellate e-filing. Rule 1245.7(a)-(b) distinguishes document transmission with the required fee from issuance of the service notification. Rule 1245.6 requires additional hard copies after approval; failure to supply them can leave filing incomplete. Preserve department-specific submissions, service proof and completion evidence. Paper timing and actual technical-failure directions remain separate.
