How the deadline works

Under Md. Rule 8-202(a), the notice of appeal is due within 30 days after entry of the judgment. Runs from docket entry, not service (no +3 mail). A timely Rule 2-532/2-533/2-534 motion runs the 30 days from entry of the order disposing of it. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
