N.Y. Rapid Transit Law § 72: Appeal to court of appeals

§ 72. Appeal to court of appeals. An appeal to the court of appeals

may be taken by the city or any person or party interested in the

proceeding and aggrieved by the order of the appellate division. Such

appeal shall be taken and heard in the manner provided in relation to

appeals from judgments in special proceedings. An appeal taken but not

prosecuted within six months after the filing of the notice of appeal,

unless the time within which to prosecute the same shall have been

extended by the court, shall be deemed to be abandoned and no agreement

between the parties to the appeal extending the time to prosecute the

same shall vary the provisions hereof. The court of appeals may affirm

or reverse the order appealed from, and may make such order or direction

as shall be appropriate to the case.
