Rule 8.393 Time to appeal

If you want to appeal a court decision, you have 30 days to file your notice of appeal. This clock starts running on the day the judge makes the ruling or signs the order.

Missing this deadline is a serious problem. Courts are very strict about this time limit, and if you file late, your appeal will likely be thrown out. If you are thinking about appealing, you should act quickly and not wait until the last minute.
