Defendant sought reconsideration of an Appellate Commissioner’s order that dismissed his appeal due lack of jurisdiction based on the failure to file a new or amended notice of appeal after a judgment was entered. Defendant filed a notice of appeal after the judgment was signed but before it was entered into the case register. Defendant did not file a new or amended notice after the judgment was entered. Pursuant to ORS 19.270, the Court of Appeals has jurisdiction to decide the merits of an appeal in the absence of a new or amended notice to appeal if the initial notice was filed prematurely. Assoc.
