Rule 34 Deadline for Criminal Appeals to the Supreme Court

Comment

The Supreme Court has ruled upon the date from which to calculate the filing deadline for the Notice of Appeal. See State v. Mottola, 166 N.H. 173 (2014) (clarifying that thirty-day deadline for filing Notice of Appeal begins to run on date of sentencing, not on date of issuance of mittimus).

Paragraph (b) of this rule refers to State’s appeals. RSA 606:10 governs State’s appeals. With regard to the timing of State appeals, the Supreme Court has held that the provisions of Supreme Court Rules 7 through 9 apply to State appeals as well as to defense appeals. See State v. Dukette, 145 N.H. 226 (2000).
