United States District Court
Southern District of New York

HOW TO APPEAL YOUR CASE TO THE UNITED STATES COURT
OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
If you disagree with a judgment or final order of the district court, you may appeal to
the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. To start this process, file a
“Notice of Appeal” with this Court’s Pro Se Intake Unit.
You must file your notice of appeal in this Court within 30 days after the judgment or
order that you wish to appeal is entered on the Court’s docket, or, if the United States or
its officer or agency is a party, within 60 days after entry of the judgment or order. If
you are unable to file your notice of appeal within the required time, you may make a
motion for extension of time, but you must do so within 60 days from the date of entry
of the judgment, or within 90 days if the United States or its officer or agency is a party,
and you must show excusable neglect or good cause for your inability to file the notice
of appeal by the deadline.
Please note that the notice of appeal is a one-page document containing your name, a
description of the final order or judgment (or part thereof) being appealed, and the
name of the court to which the appeal is taken (the Second Circuit) – it does not include
your reasons or grounds for the appeal. Once your appeal is processed by the district
court, your notice of appeal will be sent to the Court of Appeals and a Court of Appeals
docket number will be assigned to your case. At that point, all further questions
regarding your appeal must be directed to that court.
The filing fee for a notice of appeal is $505 payable in cash, by bank check, certified
check, or money order, to “Clerk of Court, S.D.N.Y.” No personal checks are accepted. If
you are unable to pay the $505 filing fee, complete the “Motion to Proceed in Forma
Pauperis on Appeal” form and submit it with your notice of appeal to the Pro Se Intake
Unit. If the district court denies your motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, or
has certified under 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(a)(3) that an appeal would not be taken in good
faith, you may file a motion in the Court of Appeals for leave to appeal in forma pauperis,
but you must do so within 30 days after service of the district court order that stated
that you could not proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
For additional issues regarding the time for filing a notice of appeal, see Federal Rule of
Appellate Procedure 4(a). There are many other steps to beginning and proceeding with
your appeal, but they are governed by the rules of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals
and the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. For more information, visit the Second
Circuit Court of Appeals website at http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/.
