Alaska R. Civ. P. 58.1

(a) Effective Dates of Orders and Judgments. Orders

and judgments become effective the date they are entered.

(1) Oral Orders. The date of entry of an oral order is the

date the order is put on the official electronic record by the

judge unless otherwise specified by the judge. At the time the

judge announces an oral order, the judge shall also announce

on the record whether the order shall be reduced to writing. If

the oral order is reduced to writing, the effective date shall be

included in the written order.

(2) Written Orders Not Preceded by Oral Orders. The

date of entry of a written order not preceded by an oral order is

the date the written order is signed unless otherwise specified

in the order.

(3) Judgments. The date of entry of a civil judgment is

the date it is signed unless otherwise specified in the judgment.

All judgments shall be reduced to writing.

(b) Commencement of Time for Appeal, Review and

Reconsideration. The time within which a notice of appeal

may be filed and reconsideration or review of orders and

judgments may be requested begins running on the date of

notice as defined below.

(c) Date of Notice.

(1) Oral Orders.

(i) As to the parties present when an oral order is

announced, the date of notice is the date the judge announces

the order on the official electronic record, unless at that time

the judge announces that the order will be reduced to writing in

which case the date of notice is the date shown in the clerk’s

certificate of distribution on the written order.

(ii) As to parties not present at the announcement of an

oral order, the date of notice is the date shown in the clerk’s

certificate of distribution of notice of the order. If, however, at

the time the judge announces the oral order the judge

announces that the order will be reduced to writing, the date of

notice is the date shown in the clerk’s certificate of distribution

on the written order.

(2) Written Orders. The date of notice of a written order

is the date shown in the clerk’s certificate of distribution on the

written order.

(3) Judgments. All judgments must be reduced to

writing. The date of notice of a judgment is the date shown in

the clerk’s certificate of distribution on the written judgment.

(4) Other Service Requirements. The notice provisions

apply to the notice of orders and judgments under Rule 73(d)

and do not affect the service requirements of any other rule of

civil procedure.

(d) Clerk’s Certificate of Distribution. Every written

notice of an oral order and every written order and judgment

shall include a clerk’s certificate of distribution showing the

date copies of the notice, order or judgment were distributed,

the name of each person to whom a copy was distributed, and

the name or initials of the court employee who distributed the

copies.
