Depends. If court issues a memo decision and order, it is immediately appealable, and if you have your papers ready, as you should, you can be in Appellate Division the next morning. But you need an actual order to appeal. If court issues just decision and says settle order on notice, plaintiff has to draft order, give ncaa three days to submit counter proposed order, and judge can then sit on papers for a month, or more, and then clerk can take another week to enter order, and only at that time can you get to appellate division. Most judges do not like to be reversed. If judge knows it’s a close call and does right thing, she will issue decision and order, facilitating quick appeal. If judge does not like case and wants to moot appeal by delay, we will get a decision and settle order type of decision. Judges know how to manipulate the system. Best part of process is that appeal would essentially be de novo review by appellate division, with no deference given to lower court’s discretion because it’s a paper record of affidavits and no testimony/ credibility issues. So appeal will be a fresh look at the issues.
