Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 130 — Notice of Appeal: Times for Filing and Service., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 130. Notice of Appeal: Times for Filing and Service.
The notice of appeal by a defendant shall be filed in the
superior court within 10 days after the entry of the judgment or
order appealed from. A notice of appeal filed after the
announcement of a decision, sentence or order but before entry of
the judgment or order shall be treated as filed after such entry and
on the day thereof. If a timely motion in arrest of judgment or for
a new trial on any ground other than newly discovered evidence
has been made, an appeal from a judgment of conviction may be
taken within 10 days after the entry of an order denying the
motion. A motion for a new trial based on the ground of newly
discovered evidence will similarly extend the time for appeal from
a judgment of conviction if the motion is made before or within
10 days after entry of the judgment. The notice of appeal by the
government shall be filed in the superior court within 30 days after
the entry of the judgment or order appealed from. A judgment or
order is entered within the meaning of this Section when it is
entered in the criminal docket. Upon a showing of excusable
neglect the superior court may, before or after the time has
expired, with or without motion and notice extend the time for
filing a notice of appeal for a period not to exceed 30 days from
the expiration of the time otherwise prescribed by this Section.
