How the deadline works
Under Ohio Civ. R. 59(B), the motion for new trial is due within 28 days after entry of the judgment. Rule 59(B) also governs additur/remittitur, prejudgment interest, and attorney-fee motions — all 28 days. Filing within 28 days tolls the appeal. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
