State v. Starr

On the court’s own motion, we have raised the following issue in this criminal case: Is a motion in arrest of judgment, like a motion for a new trial, ORCP 64 F, deemed denied if, 55 days after the entry of judgment, no order ruling on the motion has been entered? We conclude that the motion is not deemed denied. We also conclude that the filing of a motion in arrest of judgment renders the judgment nonappealable until an order is entered disposing of the motion. Because no such order has been entered in this case, we dismiss the appeal.

Defendant was found guilty of a crime on April 6, 2006.…
