- Notice of Appeal: Once filed in the lower court, it initiates the appeal process.
- Motion for Leave to Appeal: This is a request for permission to appeal to a higher court, like the NY Court of Appeals.
- Pending Status: An appeal is generally considered pending from the time the notice of appeal is filed, not necessarily when a motion for leave is filed.
