How the deadline works

Under Ohio App. R. 4(A)(1), the notice of appeal is due within 30 days after entry of the final judgment. Triggered by entry (or the clerk’s actual service if delayed beyond Civ. R. 58(B)); tolled by timely post-trial motions. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
