Section 10.13. Appeals

(a) The attorney general may, in the appellate division of the supreme
  court,  seek  a  stay of any order under this article releasing a person
  under this article.
    (b) The attorney general may appeal as of right from an order  entered
  pursuant  to subdivision (k) of section 10.06 of this article dismissing
  the petition following a determination that probable  cause  to  believe
  that the respondent is a sex offender requiring civil management has not
  been  established. No appeal may be taken from an order entered pursuant
  to subdivision (k) of section 10.06 of  this  article  determining  that
  probable  cause  has been established to believe the respondent is a sex
  offender  requiring  civil  management.  Both  the  respondent  and  the
  attorney  general  may  appeal  from any final order entered pursuant to
  this article. The provisions  of  articles  fifty-five,  fifty-six,  and
  fifty-seven  of  the  civil  practice law and rules shall govern appeals
  taken from orders entered pursuant to this article.
    (c) In connection with any appeal, a  respondent  who  is  or  becomes
  financially  unable  to  obtain  counsel  shall  have  the right to have
  appellate counsel appointed on his or her behalf. Such counsel shall  be
  appointed  by  the  court  to which an appeal is taken. If possible, the
  court shall appoint the mental hygiene legal service. In the event  that
  the court determines that the mental hygiene legal service cannot accept
  appointment,   the   court   shall  appoint  an  attorney  eligible  for
  appointment pursuant to article eighteen-B of  the  county  law,  or  an
  entity,   if  any,  that  has  contracted  for  the  delivery  of  legal
  representation services under subdivision (c) of section 10.15  of  this
  article.
