Justices of the Court
Where a notice of appeal is filed on or after October 1, 2018, e-filing will become mandatory in matters that were e-filed in Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department. E-filing in such matters has been voluntary/consensual since July 1, 2018 (except in e-filed appeals in Commercial Division matters, as outlined below).
E-filing has been mandatory in all appeals from the Commercial Division of Supreme Court since March 1, 2018, and in all appeals in matters originating in, or transferred to, Surrogate’s Court in the Fourth Judicial Department since July 1, 2018.
E-filing in the Fourth Department will continue to expand in the coming months. For appeals in which notices of appeal are filed on or after January 1, 2019, e-filing will be voluntary/consensual in almost all categories of civil matters filed in Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department. It is expected that e-filing will continue to expand in the ensuing months in 2019.
