A written notice that a prevailing party provides other parties to alert them that an order or judgment has been entered in a New York state court. Service of the notice of entry triggers the time a party has to appeal or, in some courts, move for reargument (Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) 2221(d)(3) and 5513(b); N.Y. Ct. R. § 1000.13(p)(1)). The notice of entry must state exactly when and by whom the order or judgment was entered, and if it describes the judgment or order, the description must be accurate (93 Siegel's Practice Review 3). An incorrect date of entry is a material defect that renders a notice of entry void. For more information on notice of entry in New York, see Standard Document, Notice of Entry (NY).
