How the deadline works
Under C.R.C.P. 59, the post-trial motion (new trial, jnov, amend) is due within 14 days after entry of the judgment. The court must rule within 63 days or the motion is automatically deemed denied; a timely motion tolls the 49-day appeal clock. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
