“It may have to go to the Supreme Court, but this judgement will eventually be overturned.”

It’s a New York state civil case, based on NY state laws. There’s no avenue to a US Supreme Court reversal.

Yes, either party can appeal a civil case to the U.S. Supreme Court from a state supreme court or circuit court after the ruling. However, the Supreme Court is not required to hear the appeal and typically only agrees if the case involves an important legal principle or if multiple federal appellate courts have different interpretations of the law. The Supreme Court may also be required to hear an appeal in certain special circumstances.

To petition the Supreme Court to hear the case, parties can file a “writ of certiorari”. The time limit for filing a petition for a writ of certiorari depends on the type of appeal:

Direct appeal from a district court: If the appeal is interlocutory, it must be filed within 30 days of the judgment, order, or decree. If the appeal is final, it must be filed within 60 days.

Appeal from a court of appeals or state court: The petition must be filed within 90 days after the judgment is entered.
