In spite of my scant understanding of the convoluted NY State Court System it looks like this appeal can be appealed to NY's highest court (Court of Appeals).

Per NPR:

The court, which split on the merits of the lawsuit and Engoron's fraud finding, dismissed the penalty in its entirety while also leaving a pathway for an appeal to the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.

That is if the State wants to go that route. It seems.
