How the deadline works

Under Md. Rule 2-533, the motion for new trial / to alter or amend is due within 10 days after entry of the judgment. Rule 2-533 (new trial) and Rule 2-534 (alter/amend) both run 10 days from entry. A timely 2-532/2-533/2-534 motion TOLLS the appeal; the separate 30-day revisory power (Rule 2-535) does NOT. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
