N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules Section 2112
Filing of papers in the appellate division by electronic means

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and except as otherwise provided in subdivision (c) of § 2111 (Filing of papers in the trial courts by facsimile transmission and by electronic means)section twenty-one hundred eleven of this article, the appellate division in each judicial department may promulgate rules authorizing a program in the use of electronic means for:

(i)

appeals to such court from the judgment or order of a court of original instance or from that of another appellate court, (ii) making a motion for permission to appeal to such court, (iii) commencement of any other proceeding that may be brought in such court, and

(iv)

the filing and service of papers in pending actions and proceedings. Provided however, such rules shall not require an unrepresented party or any attorney who furnishes a certificate specified in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph three of subdivision (b) of § 2111 (Filing of papers in the trial courts by facsimile transmission and by electronic means)section twenty-one hundred eleven of this article 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 city, state, county and women’s bar associations; institutional legal service providers; not-for-profit legal service providers; attorneys assigned pursuant to article eighteen-B of the county law; unaffiliated attorneys who regularly appear in proceedings that are or have been affected by the programs that have been implemented or who may be affected by promulgation of rules concerning the use of the electronic filing program in the appellate division of any judicial department; 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 and may apply to any appellate term established by an appellate division.
