When must a New York civil notice of appeal be served and filed?

Confirm the judgment or order is appealable as of right and the party is aggrieved.

Retain the copy, written notice of entry and valid personal-service record. Account for the appellant’s own service if it occurred first.

Responsible actor. The aggrieved party taking an otherwise available civil appeal as of right. An otherwise available civil appeal under CPLR 5513(a), valid personal service and no alternative statutory extension.

1. Confirm the judgment or order is appealable as of right and the party is aggrieved.
2. Retain the copy, written notice of entry and valid personal-service record. Account for the appellant’s own service if it occurred first.
3. Exclude the established event day and count every intermediate calendar day under GCL 20.
4. Take the appeal under CPLR 5515 by serving the notice on the adverse party and filing it in the office where the appealed judgment or order was entered. Preserve both acts.

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 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.

Own service

The appellant’s service of the copy with written notice of entry also starts its thirty days.

Method additions

Section 5513(d) expressly recognizes the specified CPLR 2103 mail and overnight additions. This personal-service preset does not apply them.

Taking versus perfecting

The notice service and filing take the appeal. Appellate Division perfection has a separate clock.
