How the deadline works
Under Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.104, the notice of appeal is due within 60 days after service of a notice of entry of judgment. At the outside, 180 days after entry if no notice of entry is served; mail and e-service extensions do NOT apply. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
