Arizona Supreme Court

In Re the Marriage of Sue Lynn Craig, Petitioner/appellant Cross-Appellee v. Roger Thomas Craig…

June 29, 2011227 Ariz. 105

Summary

The court held that a notice of appeal filed while any party's time-extending post-judgment motion remains pending is ineffective, regardless of which party filed the motion. The only exception is when the trial court has made its final decision and only a ministerial act remains before formal judgment. The court therefore affirmed dismissal of the premature appeals. No separate opinions were filed.
