When must a civil Appellate Division appeal be perfected?

Retain the notice’s actual date or the granting order’s date, as applicable. Do not automatically substitute later service.

Identify the appellate department, record method and its current electronic and hard-copy requirements.

Responsible actor. The appellant perfecting the ordinary civil appeal. One ordinary civil appeal under Rule 1250.9(a), without a different court deadline, concurrent appeal trigger or granted extension.

1. Retain the notice’s actual date or the granting order’s date, as applicable. Do not automatically substitute later service.
2. Identify the appellate department, record method and its current electronic and hard-copy requirements.
3. Use calendar months and the corresponding day, or the final day of a shorter month, under GCL 30.
4. File the required record or appendix and appellant’s brief with proof of service and the applicable copies. Complete department requirements and fees.

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

One ordinary civil appeal under Rule 1250.9(a), without a different court deadline, concurrent appeal trigger or granted extension. Fictitious established facts. One ordinary civil appeal under Rule 1250.9(a), without a different court deadline, concurrent appeal trigger or granted 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.

Concurrent appeals

Concurrent appeals from one order use the latest notice under subdivision (f)(2). Multiple orders must each remain timely.

Extensions

Actual subdivision (b) stipulations, applications or orders control only if their requirements are satisfied.

Civil dismissal

Rule 1250.10(a) addresses deemed dismissal for failing to perfect within the unextended civil period.

• 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.
