A:
Yes, you can file these California Court of Appeal forms together, which can help streamline your appeal process.
The APP-002 (Notice of Appeal) and APP-004 (Civil Case Information Statement) can be filed simultaneously with the same APP-009 (Proof of Service) form. Note that you mentioned APP-002 twice - if this wasn't a typo, please clarify which other form you meant. When submitting multiple forms at once, you can use a single APP-009 to show that all documents were served on the relevant parties, as long as they were all served at the same time and in the same manner.
However, make sure to carefully review each form's requirements and deadlines before filing. The Notice of Appeal (APP-002) must be filed within strict time limits, usually 60 days after service of the notice of entry of judgment or 180 days after entry of judgment. If you're unsure about timing or requirements, consider consulting with a legal professional or your local court's self-help center.
