filed not later than 30 days after the judgment or order appealed from was

for new trial or motion in arrest of judgment is timely served and filed, a
notice of appeal must be served and filed within 30 days from the earlier of
the following dates:
(a) The date of
entry of the order disposing of the motion; or
(b) The date on

(3) A defendant
cross-appealing shall serve and file the notice of cross-appeal within 10 days

(4)(a) When an
appeal is pending and the trial court enters an amended, corrected or
supplemental judgment, or an amended or corrected order that is appealable
under ORS 138.035 or 138.045 or any other statutory provision:
(A) If the
appellant intends to assign error to any part of the amended, corrected or
supplemental judgment, or amended or corrected order that is appealable, the
appellant shall file an amended notice of appeal from such judgment or order
not later than 30 days after the appellant receives notice that such judgment
or order has been entered.
(B) If the
appellant does not intend to assign error to any part of the amended, corrected
or supplemental judgment, or amended or corrected order that is appealable, the
appellant need only file a notice of intent to proceed with the appeal not
later than 30 days after the appellant receives notice that such judgment or
order has been entered. The notice of intent to proceed is not jurisdictional.
(b) As used in
this subsection, appellant means the attorney of record in the appellate
court for the appellant or, if the appellant is not represented by an attorney,
the appellant personally.
(5)(a) Upon
motion of a defendant, the Court of Appeals shall grant the defendant leave to
file a notice of appeal after the time limits described in subsections (1) to
(4) of this section if:
(A) The
defendant, by clear and convincing evidence, shows that the failure to file a
timely notice of appeal is not attributable to the defendant personally; and
(B) The defendant
shows a colorable claim of error in the proceeding from which the appeal is
taken.

is not entitled to relief under this subsection for failure to file timely
notice of cross-appeal when the state appeals pursuant to ORS 138.045 (1)(d).
(c) The request
for leave to file a notice of appeal after the time limits prescribed in
subsections (1) to (3) of this section must be filed no later than 90 days
after entry of the order or judgment being appealed. The request for leave to
file a notice of appeal after the time limit prescribed in subsection (4) of
this section must be filed no later than 90 days after the party receives
notice that the order or judgment has been entered. A request for leave under
this subsection must be accompanied by the notice of appeal, may be filed by
mail and is deemed filed on the date of mailing if the request is mailed as
provided in ORS 19.260.
(d) The court may
not grant relief under this subsection unless the state has notice and
opportunity to respond to the defendants request for relief.
(e) The denial of
a motion under paragraph (a) of this subsection is a bar to post-conviction
relief under ORS 138.510 to 138.680 on the same ground, unless the court
provides otherwise. [1971 c.565 §21 (enacted in lieu of 138.070); 1977 c.752 §3;
