The New York Fed. R. App.P. Form 1 is a legal document that is used to initiate the process of appealing a judgment or order issued by a district court in the state of New York. It is typically used by a party who is unsatisfied with the district court's ruling and wishes to have the case reheard at the appellate court level. The form contains a series of questions that the party filing the appeal must answer in order to provide the court with a clear and concise summary of the facts of the case and the reasons why they feel the district court's decision should be overturned. There are two types of the New York Fed. R. App.P. Form 1 — Notice of Appeal to Court of Appeals from Judgment/Order of District Court: Form 1-A and Form 1-B. Form 1-A is used for appeals from judgments or orders issued by a district court in a civil case, while Form 1-B is used for appeals from judgments or orders issued by a district court in a criminal case.
