The AI checks your answers before you download

13 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Appellate Case Number Consistency

This check ensures that the 'Appellate Division Case Number' entered on the first page matches the 'Appellate Division Case Number' entered on the second page. This is critical for maintaining document integrity and ensuring that all pages correctly reference the same legal case. If the numbers do not match, the user will be prompted to correct the discrepancy to prevent filing errors.

Required Trial Court Case Information

Validates that both the 'Trial Court Case Number' and 'Trial Court Case Name' fields are not empty. This information is fundamental for identifying the specific judgment or order being appealed. Failure to provide this information would make the form incomplete and likely lead to its rejection by the court clerk.

Party Name Completeness

Ensures that the 'Party Name' field is filled out completely. The name of the party requesting to waive oral argument is a mandatory piece of information that identifies the filer. If this field is left blank, the form cannot be processed as the identity of the requesting party is unknown.

Party Primary Address Completeness

This validation verifies that all components of the 'Party's Street Address' (Street Address, City, State, Zip Code) are filled in. A complete and valid address is required for official notifications and correspondence from the court. An incomplete address will trigger an error, requiring the user to provide all necessary parts.

Zip Code Format Validation

Checks all zip code fields ('Party's Street Address', 'Party's Mailing Address', 'Lawyer's Street Address', 'Lawyer's Mailing Address') to ensure they contain either a 5-digit or 9-digit (ZIP+4) numeric value. Correctly formatted zip codes are essential for mail delivery. An invalid format will prevent form submission until corrected.

State Field Abbreviation Validation

This check validates that all 'State' fields contain a valid two-letter U.S. state or territory abbreviation. Using standardized abbreviations prevents ambiguity and ensures addresses are processed correctly by postal services and court systems. An invalid entry will result in an error message with a prompt to use a recognized abbreviation.

Common Mistakes in Completing APP-019

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Confusing Trial and Appellate Case Numbers
Filers often mistakenly enter the trial court case number in the field for the appellate division case number, or vice versa. This happens due to the similarity of the fields and can cause significant processing delays or rejection of the filing as it gets routed to the wrong case file. To avoid this, carefully double-check that the number from the original trial court judgment is entered in the 'Trial Court Case Number' field and the number assigned by the appellate court is in the 'Appellate Division Case Number' field.
Providing an Incomplete Court Name
People frequently use abbreviations or partial names for the court, such as 'Superior Court' instead of the full, required name like 'Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco'. This ambiguity can lead to the document being misrouted or delayed until the correct court can be identified. Always write out the full, official name and address of the court that issued the original judgment to ensure proper and timely processing.
Using an Informal or Incorrect Party Name
The form requires the full legal name of the party as it appears on official court documents, but individuals often use a nickname, an abbreviated version, or a slightly different spelling. This discrepancy can create confusion and may lead to the filing being rejected because the party cannot be officially matched to the case record. Always use the exact name listed on the original trial court case filings to prevent any identity-related issues.
Forgetting to Complete the Header on Page 2
It is a very common oversight to leave the case name and case number fields at the top of the second page blank. If the pages become separated, the second page, which contains the crucial signature and date, cannot be associated with the correct case. This can invalidate the entire filing, forcing a refiling. To prevent this, make it a habit to fill out the header on all subsequent pages as soon as you complete the first page.
Entering an Incorrect Lawyer State Bar Number
Simple typos or transposing digits when entering the lawyer's state bar number are frequent errors. Since this number is used to verify the attorney's identity and standing, an incorrect number can halt the processing of the document and may lead to questions about representation. Attorneys should verify their bar number carefully before submission. Using a tool like Instafill.ai can help by saving and accurately auto-filling this information for recurring use.
Typos in the Email Address
A small typo in an email address, such as 'gmal.com' instead of 'gmail.com', is a critical error in legal filings where electronic service and communication are standard. This mistake means the party or their lawyer will not receive important case updates, notices, or documents from the court, potentially causing them to miss deadlines. Carefully proofread the email address character by character before saving or submitting the form.
Confusing Street and Mailing Addresses
Filers sometimes enter a P.O. Box in the 'Street Address' field, which is meant for a physical location, or they neglect to fill out the 'Mailing Address' section when their mail is delivered to a different location. This can result in important legal notices being returned as undeliverable, leading to missed deadlines or default judgments. Ensure a physical address is listed where required and always provide a separate mailing address if applicable.
Inconsistent Information Across the Form
An applicant might accidentally enter slightly different information in repeated fields, such as having a typo in the case number on page 2 that doesn't match page 1. Such inconsistencies create doubt and can cause clerks to reject the form for clarification, delaying the case. AI-powered tools like Instafill.ai can prevent this by automatically populating repeated fields with consistent data, ensuring accuracy throughout the document.
Leaving the 'Typed/Printed Name' Field Blank
After signing the document, a person may forget to type or print their name in the designated field below the signature line. An illegible signature without a printed name makes it difficult for court clerks to identify the signatory, which can lead to the document being rejected for being improperly executed. Always ensure the name of the person signing is clearly typed or printed in the appropriate space.
Using an Ambiguous Date Format
When entering the date, people may use a format like '02/03/24', which could be interpreted as either February 3rd or March 2nd depending on regional conventions. This ambiguity can be problematic for legal deadlines. To avoid confusion, it is best practice to write out the month (e.g., 'February 3, 2024') or use the court's specified format. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, a tool like Instafill.ai can convert it to a fillable version and help standardize date formats.

How complex is APP-019 to fill out?
APP-019 has a Form Complexity Index of 46 out of 100, in the moderate tier: 35 fillable fields across 2 pages. Instafill.ai's AI fills it in under a minute, with every field there for you to review before you download.
What is the purpose of this form?
This form is used to formally request that the appellate court waive, or cancel, the oral argument for your case. By submitting it, you are asking the court to make its decision based solely on the written briefs and documents already filed.
Who should fill out this form?
Any party involved in an appeal who wishes to have the case decided without a live oral hearing should complete this form. This can be done by the party themselves (if self-represented) or by their attorney.
What is the difference between the 'Trial Court Case Number' and the 'Appellate Division Case Number'?
The 'Trial Court Case Number' is the case number from the original court where the case was first heard. The 'Appellate Division Case Number' is the new number assigned to your case by the court of appeals after the appeal was filed.
Where can I find my Appellate Division Case Number?
Your Appellate Division Case Number is typically found on notices and other documents you have received from the appellate court. It will be different from your original trial court case number.
Do I have to fill out the lawyer information section if I am representing myself?
No, if you are representing yourself (acting 'pro se'), you can leave the lawyer information sections blank. You only need to provide your own personal name, address, and contact information.
Why does the form ask for both a street address and a mailing address?
The form requests both in case you receive mail at a location different from where you physically reside, such as a P.O. Box. If your street and mailing addresses are the same, you only need to complete the street address section.
What happens after I submit this form?
After you file the form with the court, the judges will review your request. The court has the final say and may still decide to hold an oral argument even if all parties agree to waive it.
Do I need to fill out the case information on Page 2?
Yes, you should enter the Appellate Division Case Name and Number on the second page as indicated. This ensures your pages are correctly associated with your case file if they become separated.
What information do I need to have ready before filling out this form?
You will need your trial court and appellate court case names and numbers, as well as your personal contact information. If you have an attorney, you will also need their name, State Bar number, and contact details.
What should I enter for 'Typed/Printed Name' on the second page?
In this field, you should type or clearly print the full name of the person who is signing the form. This will be either your name (if you are self-represented) or your attorney's name.
