Scope and Content Note

This volume consists of undertakings on appeal recorded by the clerk of the Supreme Court Appellate Division Third Department. Entries provide the names of parties in each case and the ruling of the Appellate Division Third Department that is being appealed to the State Court of Appeals. This is typically followed by a statement in which one or more sureties offer bond, or guarantee payment of costs or damages which may be awarded against the appellant as a result of the appeal, not to exceed five hundred dollars. Each entry concludes with a notarized affirmation that the surety named executed the specific undertaking, coupled with the surety's notarized, sworn confirmation of its address and assets. Power of attorney statements and more detailed financial statements typically appear in cases where surety corporations offered bond.
