Deadline in Mississippi

Under Mississippi Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a), the deadline for filing a notice of appeal in a civil case is 30 days from the entry of the judgment or order appealed from. This 30-day period begins to run on the date the trial court enters the judgment, not the date the judgment is mailed or received. The rule provides limited circumstances that may extend or restart the deadline, such as certain post-trial motions, which are detailed in the official source linked above. The worked example below illustrates how the 30-day period is calculated from a given entry date. For a precise estimate based on specific case facts, use the DocketMath calculator.
