Post-Trial Motions Filed Within Ten (10) Days. When a post-\n\ntrial motion for a new trial, for judgment notwithstanding the\n\nverdict, or to correct, open, modify, vacate or reconsider a\n\njudgment, decree or final order, other than a motion only involving\n\ncosts or attorney fees, is filed within ten (10) days after the\n\njudgment, decree or final order is filed with the court clerk, an\n\nappeal shall not be commenced until an order disposing of the motion\n\nis filed with the court clerk. The unsuccessful party may then\n\nappeal from the order disposing of the motion within thirty (30)\n\ndays after the date such order was filed. If the decision on the\n\nmotion was against the moving party, the moving party may appeal\n\nfrom the judgment, decree or final order, from the ruling on the\n\nmotion, or from both, in one appeal, within thirty (30) days after\n\nthe filing of the order disposing of the motion. Successive appeals\n\nfrom the original judgment, decree or final order and the order\n\ndisposing of the motion shall not be allowed.\n\nB. Post-Trial Motions Filed After Ten (10) Days. The time to\n\nappeal from a judgment, decree or final order is not extended or\n\naffected by the filing of a motion to correct, open, modify, vacate\n\nor reconsider the judgment, decree or final order that is filed more\n\nthan ten (10) days after the judgment, decree or final order is\n\nfiled with the clerk of the trial court, and an appeal that is\n\ncommenced before such a motion is filed is not premature. If the\n\nmotion is filed after a petition in error is filed, the moving party\n\nshall advise the Supreme Court the motion was filed. If a petition\n\nin error is filed after such a motion is filed, the appellant shall\n\nadvise the Supreme Court in the petition in error that the motion is\n\npending. When the trial court disposes of the motion where a\n\npetition in error has been filed, the successful party shall advise\n\nthe Supreme Court of the action taken on the motion.\n\nC. If the appellant did not prepare the judgment, decree, or\n\nfinal order, and Section 696.2 of this title required a copy of the\n\njudgment, decree, or final order to be mailed to the appellant, and\n\nthe court records do not reflect the mailing of a copy of the\n\njudgment, decree, or final order to the appellant within three (3)\n\ndays, exclusive of weekends and holidays, after the filing of the\n\njudgment, decree, or final order, all times referred to in this\n\nsection shall run from the earliest date on which the court records\n\nshow that a file-stamped copy of the judgment, decree, or final\n\norder was mailed to the appealing party, rather than from the date\n\nof filing.\n\nD. Costs and Attorney Fees. The filing of a motion for costs\n\nor attorney fees shall not extend or affect the time to appeal.","path":["OK Code","Title 12"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os12.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"963c4ddec101afaee08b2aa1921785c19e8aea8461c8f7b96e73e6f839bc3af2","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12-12-990.1","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12-12-990.3"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
