A document filed with a court and served on the other parties, stating an intention to appeal a trial court’s judgment or order. * In most jurisdictions, filing a notice of appeal is the act by which the appeal is perfected.

R. App. P. 3(a), (d). — Abbr. NOA. — aka claim of appeal. See APPEAL. [1]
