Calculating your appeal deadline is critical, as missing it can forfeit your right to appeal. In Minnesota, the general deadline is 60 days from judgment entry or notice of filing, while federal courts typically allow 30 days. The countdown can be tolled by certain post-trial motions but not by motions for reconsideration. If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, it extends to the next business day. It's vital to double-check current court holidays and file early to avoid complications.
