A:
The timing for filing amended APP-002 (Notice of Appeal) and APP-003 (Designation of Record) forms in California depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
When the Court of Appeal requests changes to these forms, you should file the amended versions as soon as possible after receiving the notice, typically within 15 days, though the court may specify a different deadline. However, if you're voluntarily amending these forms before receiving any court request, you can file them together with your APP-004 (Civil Case Information Statement), which is due within 15 days of filing your notice of appeal, per California Rules of Court, rule 8.100(g).
The specific deadlines for amended notices aren't explicitly defined in a single rule, but are governed by various sections of California Rules of Court, particularly rules 8.100 and 8.124. If you're unsure about timing in your specific situation, you should contact the clerk of the Court of Appeal where your case is pending, as they can provide guidance on local rules and current requirements for your particular case.
