You can file one Notice of Appeal but it must properly reference each order you are appealing.

It might be sufficient, and is legally sufficient, but it not the best way to make an argument.
The judge in her final judgment only granted me one claim I made for $50,000. But she denied my other 2 claims for $200,000. I am appealing the claims I was denied for $200,000. The defendant did not appeal the $50,000 and is ready to pay the $50,000 but wants me to sign a warrant for... View More
The reason for the court date stems from a case I took to trial and won. I was charged with Dwi and failure to take chemical test because I was a passenger. Charges dropped and now need dmv to drop suspension and fines. I was found innocent
Judge decided on a motion without listening to any of my arguments and constantly talking to an opposing attorney. I believe the order is erroneous and would like to file an appeal.
Please let me know where can I file an appeal?

The Appellate Term of the Supreme Court. You did not say which county in NYC, so I cannot give you the address. The Clerk can tell you.
Filed a small claims suit (Queens County-NYC) and requested to see a judge as I did not want my case to be tried by an arbitrator. I was then told that it would take a few court dates if I want to only see a judge. That did not deter me and I insisted on seeing judge and was sent home with a new... View More

There is nothing you can do. They make a speech about arbitration and by the court in the beginning, and that speech is the same in every court. No one will believe you.

You would need to take it up in the Supreme Court and there is a very difficult review standard to overturn an agency such as the DMV, you'd have to show bias or manifest error.

You can appeal any decision, but getting your appeal heard is another story. A writ of certiorari may be required and the appellate court can deny the appeal if at the outset they determine there were spurious grounds for appealing. Get the decision reviewed by a competent attorney.

Depends. If it's a de novo review you probably want to stick with the attorney you've been working with since he has all of the trial facts and can tweak things, if it's only reviewing a specific narrow ruling you may want to find an appellate attorney with experience on that issue of law.
As the defendant, we just filed a motion to reargue based on plaintiffs recent filing of notice of summary judgment in their favor. We have what I believe are extreme questions of fact that the judge erroneously overlooked. It is my understanding that plaintiff now has 30 days to file opposition to... View More

No, not unless you get a "de novo" review, which is unlikely without a compelling reason as to why the new evidence was not presented at the lower court level.

You can appeal the dismissal, a lower court judge, such as a surrogate's court judge, cannot deny you the right to appeal. I'd need to see the documents you are referring to in order to give you a more thorough analysis.

a) that's not blackmail, that's part of a plea bargain
b) abuse from correctional officers should be brought up with a civil rights attorney, which you can reach out to me for a referral, I know a terrific one.
c) He did not "have to plead guilty."

The employer can appeal, but probably won't waste the time and money doing so.
