Rule 7-611 Motion for new trial; appeals on the record.

A. Motion. In cases which may be appealed on the record, if the defendant has been found guilty, the court, on motion of the defendant or on its own motion, may grant a new trial if required in the interest of justice.

B. Time for making motion for new trial. A motion for new trial shall be made within ten (10) days after verdict or finding of guilty or within any further time as the court may fix during the ten (10)-day period.

C. Extension of time for appeal. If a party timely files a motion for new trial under this rule, the full time prescribed by Rule 7-703 NMRA for the filing of the notice of appeal shall commence to run and be computed from either the entry of an order expressly disposing of the motion for new trial or the filing of a notice by the movant in metropolitan court stating that the motion is withdrawn provided that the motion for new trial has not been expressly disposed of by order and there are no other motions that may affect the finality of the judgment that remain pending. An order granting a motion for new trial is not appealable and renders any prior judgment non-appealable.
