The New York Civil Cover Sheet for a District Court Appeal is a form that must be completed and filed in the District Court when initiating an appeal. It is used to provide the court with basic information about the parties involved, the case type, and the trial court record. The cover sheet must be signed by the appellant and/or the appellant's attorney. There are two types of New York Civil Cover Sheets for a District Court Appeal: a simplified cover sheet and a standard cover sheet. The simplified cover sheet is used for appeals from a Small Claims Court or a City Court, while the standard cover sheet is used for appeals from any other court. Both forms require the appellant to provide basic information such as name, address, and contact information as well as the trial court record number and type of case. The standard cover sheet also requires additional information such as the date of the trial court decision, the name, address, and contact information of the appealed, and the name and contact information of the trial court judge.
