Alaska R. Crim. P. 32.3
Judgments and Orders
(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 also shall 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 criminal judgment
is the date the judgment is put on the official electronic record
by the judge unless otherwise specified by the judge. All
judgments shall be reduced to writing and the effective date
shall be included in the written judgment.
(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. These notice provisions
apply to the notice of orders and judgments under Rule 44(c)
and do not affect the service requirements of any other rule of
criminal 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,
to whom they were distributed, and the name or initials of the
court employee who distributed them.
