Deadline in Colorado

In Colorado, the deadline to appeal a final judgment is 49 days after entry of judgment, as set by Colo. App. R. 4(a)(1). This rule governs the time for filing a notice of appeal in civil cases before the Colorado Court of Appeals. The 49-day period begins to run from the date the trial court enters the final judgment. The rule also provides specific exceptions and adjustments that may affect the deadline in certain circumstances. The worked example below illustrates how the 49-day period is calculated from a judgment date. For an estimate of the deadline in a particular case, the calculator on this page may be used.
