Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-1054.1: Perfecting appeal without filing motion for new trial

The right of a party to perfect an appeal from a judgment, order

or decree of the trial court to the Court of Criminal Appeals shall

not be conditioned upon his having filed in the trial court a motion

for a new trial, but in the event a motion for a new trial is filed

in the trial court by a party adversely affected by the judgment,

order or decree, no appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals may be

taken until subsequent to the ruling by the trial court on the

motion for a new trial.
