NEW YORK — New York City is asking appeals judges to reinstate a ban on supersized sodas and other sugary drinks, which was struck down by a Manhattan judge the day before it was to go into effect.

The city had vowed an appeal and said Thursday that lawyers had filed it late Monday.

In his decision on March 11, State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling said the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sweet drinks arbitrarily applies to only some sugary beverages and some places that sell them.

In its appeal, the city said the Board of Health had legislative authority and “is empowered to issue substantive rules and standards in public health.”

The city also announced that other organizations had filed legal briefs in support of the appeal.
