N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 460.90: Filing of papers on appeal to the appellate division by electronic means

§ 460.90 Filing of papers on appeal to the appellate division by

electronic means.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the appellate division in

each judicial department may promulgate rules authorizing a program in

the use of electronic means for the taking and perfection of appeals in

accordance with the provisions of section twenty-one hundred twelve of

the civil practice law and rules. Provided however, such rules shall not

require an unrepresented party or any attorney who furnishes a

certification specified in subparagraph (i) or (ii) of paragraph (c) of

subdivision two of section 10.40 of this chapter to take or perfect an

appeal by electronic means. Provided further, however, before

promulgating any such rules, the appellate division in each judicial

department shall consult with the chief administrator of the courts and

shall provide an opportunity for review and comment by all those who are

or would be affected including district attorneys; representatives of

the office of indigent legal services; not-for-profit legal service

providers; public defenders; statewide and local specialty bar

associations whose membership devotes a significant portion of their

practice to assigned criminal cases pursuant to subparagraph (i) of

paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section seven hundred twenty-two

of the county law; institutional providers of criminal defense services

and other members of the criminal defense bar; representatives of

victims' rights organizations; unaffiliated attorneys who regularly

appear in proceedings that are or would be affected by such electronic

filing program; interested members of the criminal justice community;

and any other persons in whose county a program has been implemented in

any of the courts therein as deemed to be appropriate by any appellate

division. To the extent practicable, rules promulgated by the appellate

division in each judicial department pursuant to this section shall be

uniform. For purposes of this section, "electronic means" shall be as

defined in subdivision (f) of rule twenty-one hundred three of such law

and rules.
