A:
The case name you need to enter on pages 2-4 of form APP-003 (Notice to Designate Record on Appeal) should match exactly how it appears in your Superior Court case. This maintains consistency with the original proceedings and helps prevent confusion in the appellate process.
When filling out the form, look at your Superior Court documents and copy the case name precisely as it appears there, including the order of parties (e.g., "Smith v. Jones" or "People v. Thompson"). This case name should be identical across all pages where requested on the APP-003 form. The Superior Court case name remains the primary identifier even as your case moves to the Court of Appeal.
While your case will receive a new Court of Appeal case number, keeping the original Superior Court case name helps maintain clear tracking and connection between the trial court proceedings and your appeal. This practice ensures all related documents can be properly identified and processed throughout the appellate process.
