Only Documents Relevant to the Order/Judgment Appealed from Should Be in the Record on Appeal—Motion to Settle the Record Denied

The Third Department affirmed Supreme Court’s denial of plaintiff’s motion to settle the record (on appeal) by adding documents (which were deemed not relevant to the appeal). The court described the required contents of the record:

Consistent with the provisions of CPLR 5526, “the record on appeal from a final judgment shall consist of a notice of appeal, the judgment roll, the transcript or a statement in lieu of a transcript if there was a trial or hearing, any exhibits in the court of original instance, any other reviewable order and any opinion in the case” … . The judgment roll, in turn, shall contain, among other things, “the summons, pleadings, admissions, each judgment and each order involving the merits or necessarily affecting the final judgment” (CPLR 5017 [b]…). As a result, “[d]ocuments or information that were not before [the trial court] cannot be considered by this Court on appeal” .. . Here, Supreme Court expressly found that the five documents at issue were neither considered in conjunction with nor relevant to the issues that gave rise to its … order and judgment… .
