Appellant's brief and record on appeal
20 calendar days after transcript settled (appeal). Within 20 days after settlement of the transcript or statement in lieu of record. Governing rule: CPLR 5530(a) (Article 55, Appeals Generally).
How the service method changes the date
The period runs from service, and the method of service can extend it. Under CPLR 2103(b), mail adds 5 calendar days, overnight courier adds 1 business day, and NYSCEF e-service adds 2 days under Uniform Rule 202.5-b(f)(2). Personal delivery adds nothing. When the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or New York public holiday, the deadline rolls to the next business day (CPLR 2103(a); General Construction Law §25-a).
