The People of the State of Colorado v. Quinn M. Jebe.

Summary

The court held that a timely motion by the People to reconsider a criminal dismissal tolls the forty-nine-day period for a prosecutorial appeal, even though the applicable appellate rule does not expressly address such motions. Because the People moved for reconsideration on the day of dismissal and appealed within forty-nine days after the motion was denied, the appeal was timely. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for reinstatement of the appeal.
