The California APP-003, officially the Appellant's Notice Designating Record on Appeal for an Unlimited Civil Case, is filed by the party appealing a superior court judgment. This PDF form specifies which records the Court of Appeal will review when deciding your California civil case.
When completing the form, you select the type of appellate record: a clerk's transcript, an appendix, the original court file, or an agreed or settled statement. You also indicate whether oral testimony should be included, which can be decisive for your civil appeal argument.
The form covers administrative records, witness testimony, and documentary evidence. It also includes options to apply for a court fee waiver, making California's appeal process accessible regardless of financial circumstances.
