Subject to provisions not at issue here,2 an appeal in a civil case must be taken “within 30 days after entry of the judgment or order from which the appeal is taken.” D.C.App. R. 4(a)(1). D.C. Appellate Rule 4(a)(6) defines “entry of the judgment,” explaining that “[a] judgment or order is entered for purposes of this rule when it is entered in compliance with the rules of the Superior Court.” However, “[w]hen a rule of the Superior Court requires service of the notice of the entry of a judgment or order to be made by mail, the judgment or order will not be considered as having been entered, for the purpose of calculating the time for filing a notice of appeal, until the fifth day after the Clerk of the Superior Court has made an entry on the docket reflecting the mailing of notice by that clerk.” Id. (emphasis added).
