This conclusion compels another: The five-day time period provided for in D.C. Appellate Rule 4(a)(6) is no longer triggered by Superior Court Civil Rule 77(d). As noted previously, the additional five-day period applies only when “a rule of the Superior Court requires service ... to be made by mail.” D.C.App. R. 4(a)(6) (emphasis added).4 Since the more per*153missive Superior Court rule no longer contains any such requirement, we cannot read D.C. Appellate Rule 4(a)(6) to defer the effective date, for the purposes of appeal in a civil case, of entry of an order or judgment.5
