Deadline in Hawaii

Under Haw. R. App. P. 4(a)(1), a notice of appeal in a Hawaii civil case must be filed within 30 days after entry of the judgment or appealable order. This deadline is measured from the date the judgment is entered on the court’s docket, not from the date of the oral ruling or written decision. The rule provides limited exceptions that may extend or restart the filing period, but those are specific circumstances set out in the official source. The worked example below illustrates how the 30-day period is calculated from a sample entry date. To determine your own filing deadline, use the calculator on this page.
