Helo all,
In the year 2004, a show cause judgment was decided against me. I went to the county clerk office a month later and found that the decision said I had no basis in law for my motion. I have not received a formal copy of that decision from the court. Please advice must I received notice of entry of this decision before I can appeal or is this one of those cases where service of a decision is not needed if you want to appeal and you only have 30 days to appeal once the court makes its decision. I really need some help members.
thanks in advance.

In NY state practice, you have 30 days from service upon you of a notice of entry of the order or judgment against you within which to serve and file your Notice of Appeal. If the opposing party has not served you with notice of entry, and if you want to appeal, you may yourself serve a proper notice of entry upon the opposing party, and that, too, will start your 30-day period. You must double check with your adversary to make sure he or she did not serve you with a notice of entry.
