Oregon Statutes 19.270 – Appellate jurisdiction of Supreme Court and Court of Appeals; trial court jurisdiction to enter appealable judgment or order
(1) The Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals has jurisdiction of the cause when the notice of appeal has been served and filed as provided in ORS § 19.240, 19.250 and 19.255. The trial court may exercise those powers in connection with the appeal as are conferred by law, and retains jurisdiction in the matter for the following purposes:
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 19.270
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- Dismissal: The dropping of a case by the judge without further consideration or hearing. Source:
- Judgment: means a judgment or appealable order, as provided in ORS § 19. See Oregon Statutes 19.005
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Notice of appeal: includes a notice of cross-appeal. See Oregon Statutes 19.005
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

- United States: includes territories, outlying possessions and the District of Columbia. See Oregon Statutes 174.100

(2) The following requirements of ORS § 19.240, 19.250 and 19.255 are jurisdictional and may not be waived or extended:
(a) Service of the notice of appeal on all parties identified in the notice of appeal as adverse parties or, if the notice of appeal does not identify adverse parties, on all parties who have appeared in the action, suit or proceeding, as provided in ORS § 19.240 (2)(a), within the time limits prescribed by ORS § 19.255.
(b) Filing of the original of the notice of appeal with the Court of Appeals as provided in ORS § 19.240 (3), within the time limits prescribed by ORS § 19.255.
(3) After the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals has acquired jurisdiction of the cause, the omission of a party to perform any of the acts required in connection with an appeal, or to perform such acts within the time required, shall be cause for dismissal of the appeal. In the event of such omission, the court, on motion of a party or on its own motion may dismiss the appeal. An appeal dismissed on a party’s motion or on the court’s own motion may be reinstated upon showing of good cause.
(4) Notwithstanding the filing of a notice of appeal, the trial court has jurisdiction, with leave of the appellate court, to enter an appealable judgment or order if the appellate court determines that:
(a) At the time of the filing of the notice of appeal the trial court intended to enter an appealable judgment or order; and
(b) The judgment or order from which the appeal is taken is defective in form or was entered at a time when the trial court did not have jurisdiction of the cause under subsection (1) of this section, or the trial court had not yet entered an appealable judgment or order.
(5) Notwithstanding the filing of a notice of appeal, the trial court has jurisdiction:
(a) To enter in the trial court register a judgment or order that the trial judge signed before the notice of appeal was filed;
(b) To enter an order or supplemental judgment under ORCP 71 or ORS § 19.275, 107.105 (4) or 107.452; and
(c) To enter an order or supplemental judgment for the purpose of implementing a settlement as allowed by ORS § 19.410 (3).
(6) Jurisdiction of the appellate court over a cause ends when a copy of the appellate judgment is mailed by the State Court Administrator to the court from which the appeal was taken pursuant to ORS § 19.450, except that the appellate court may:
(a) Recall the appellate judgment as justice may require;
(b) Stay enforcement of the appellate judgment to allow the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States; and
(c) Stay enforcement of the appellate judgment pending disposition of the matter by the Supreme Court of the United States or for such other time as the Oregon appellate court may deem appropriate.
(7) If a limited or supplemental judgment is appealed, the jurisdiction of the appellate court is limited to the matters decided by the limited or supplemental judgment, and the trial court retains jurisdiction over all other matters in the proceeding.
(8) After jurisdiction of the appellate court ends, all orders which may be necessary to carry the appellate judgment into effect shall be made by the court from which the appeal was taken. [Formerly 19.033; 2003 c.576 § 86; 2005 c.568 § 25c; 2007 c.66 § 1; 2013 c.10 § 1]
