Rule 910 Appeal

Disposition without a hearing under Rule 907(A) and (B), or under Rule 909(C)(3)(a), constitutes a final order under this rule. A partial disposition under Rule 907(C) is not a final order until the judge has fully disposed of all claims.

When the disposition reinstates a defendant’s direct appeal rights nunc pro tunc, a new notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of the order.
