A North Carolina Notice of Appeal is a legal document used to begin the process of appealing a decision made in a court of law. It is a formal notification to the court that the litigant intends to appeal the decision and is the first step of the appellate process. Depending on the type of case, there are two types of North Carolina Notice of Appeal: a Notice of Appeal from the Superior Court and a Notice of Appeal from the District Court. A Notice of Appeal from the Superior Court is used to appeal a decision from the North Carolina Superior Court. It must contain the name of the court, the case number, the names of the parties involved, and the date the judgment was entered. The notice must be filed within 30 days of the entry of the judgment with the Clerk of Superior Court. A Notice of Appeal from the District Court is used to appeal a decision from the North Carolina District Court. It must include the names of the parties involved, the case number, the date the judgment was entered, and a statement that the appellant is appealing the decision and the reasons for the appeal. The notice must be filed with the Clerk of District Court within 10 days of the judgment's entry. Both types of North Carolina Notice of Appeal must also include a statement of the relief requested, such as a new trial, a reversal of the decision, or a remand to the lower court.
