How the deadline works
Under C.A.R. 4(a), the notice of appeal is due within 49 days after entry of the judgment. Colorado uses a distinctive 49-day period; the appellate court may extend up to 35 days for excusable neglect. A timely C.R.C.P. 59 motion tolls it. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
