Terry CAMP, Hugh CAMP and John CAMP v. Mo TUCKER
    84-174
    674 S.W.2d 938
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered September 17, 1984
    
      Crumpler, O’Conner ir Wynne, by: John W. Unger, Jr., for appellants.
    
      Thomason ¡¿r Thomason, by: Byron Thomason, for appellee.
   Per Curiam.

The judgment was filed for record on October 5, 1983. The motion to set aside the judgment had been filed the day before entry of the judgment. The motion was therefore timely. The order denying the motion was not filed until February 7, 1984. Appellants filed notice of appeal on March 1,1984. Arkansas R. App. P. 4 (d) provides that a party has ten days following denial of a post judgment motion to file notice of appeal from the original judgment provided the time cannot be reduced below the 30 days allowed to file notice of appeal. Additionally, Ark. R. App. P. 4 (c) requires the party filing the motion to present it to the court within 30 days. If the court cannot hear it within 30 days, the party must request the court to set it for a definite date. Unless the court sets a hearing date or takes it under advisement during the 30 days, the ten days for filing rioticé of appeal commences to run 30 days after the motion is filed. Therefore the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted.
