RULE 7-104. NOTICE OF APPEAL--TIMES FOR FILING
(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Rule or by law, the notice of appeal shall be filed within 30 days after entry of the judgment or order from which the appeal is taken.
Cross reference: For shorter appeal times provided by statute, see Code, Real Property Article, §§ 8-332, 8-401, 8-402, 8-402.1, 8A-1701, 8A-1702, 8A-1703, 14-109, and 14-120.
(b) Criminal Action--Motion for New Trial. In a criminal action, when a timely motion for a new trial is filed pursuant to Rule 4-331(a), the notice of appeal shall be filed within 30 days after the later of (1) entry of the judgment or (2) entry of a notice withdrawing the motion or an order denying the motion.
(c) Civil Action--Post Judgment Motions. In a civil action, when a timely motion is filed pursuant to Rule 3-533 or Rule 3-534, the notice of appeal shall be filed within 30 days after entry of (1) a notice withdrawing the motion or (2) an order denying a motion pursuant to Rule 3-533 or disposing of a motion pursuant to Rule 3-534. A notice of appeal filed before the withdrawal or disposition of either of these motions does not deprive the District Court of jurisdiction to dispose of the motion.
Committee note: A motion filed pursuant to Rule 3-535, if filed within ten days after entry of judgment, will have the same effect as a motion filed pursuant to Rule 3-534, for purposes of this Rule.
