2.05.090 [Rule 7] When Appeals May Be Taken

(a) Time; Personal Representative; Cross-Appeal

The Notice of Appeal required by Section 2.05.080, Rule 6 shall be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the entry of the judgment from which the appeal is taken, unless a different time is provided by law. If a party dies during the time he is entitled to take an appeal, the appeal may be taken by his personal representative within ninety (90) days after the death of the party. A notice of cross-appeal may be filed by an opposing party within twenty (20) days from the date the Notice of Appeal is filed.

(b) Extension of Appeal Time

When any of the following motions are timely filed, the time of appeal is extended, and times set forth in this section, Rule 7(a) shall be computed from the entry of any of the following orders:

(1) Granting or denying a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.

(2) Granting or denying a motion to amend or make additional findings of fact whether or not granting the motion would alter the judgment.

(3) Granting of denying a motion to alter or amend the judgment.

(4) Denying a motion for a new trial.

If more than one of the motions is timely filed, the expiration of the time for appeal is to be computed from the date of the entry of the order which disposes of the last remaining motion. When a motion to amend or make additional findings of fact is granted, the time begins to run when the amendment or addition has been accomplished by the Court Order. The same applies to the granting of a motion to amend or alter the judgment. Entry of an order occurs when the judge or hearing officer signs and dates the order.
