How long after sentencing in Michigan do you have to appeal?

The time limit for filing an appeal is governed by MCR 7.204 (for felonies) and is jurisdictional. That means if you do not file in the time allowed the Court lacks the authority to her the Appeal. A claim for an Appeal of Right must be filed within 42 days. If you requested an appointed Appellate attorney and were denied you have 42 days from the date of the order of denial. You may file an application for Leave to Appeal within one year of he order being appealed, however the Court does not have to hear it. It may deny the application without considering the merit of the appeal.
