<div>A division of the court of appeals holds that, if timely <span></span>filed, a </div>
<div>motion for reconsideration of an order denying a special moti<span></span>on to </div>
<div>dismiss under the anti-SLAPP statute, section 13-<span>20</span>-1101, C.R.S. </div>
<div>2024, is properly construed as a C.R.C.P. 59 motion <span></span>that tolls the </div>
<div>time for filing a notice of appeal because the trial court’s o<span></span>rder, </div>
<div>though not final, is nevertheless appealable as required by C.R.C.P. </div>
<div>54, 58, and 59. </div>

<div>1 </div>
<div>¶ 1<span> </span><span>Section 13-<span>20</span>-1101, C.R.S. 2024, colloquially known as the </span>
</div>
<div>anti-<span>SLAPP statute (“SLAPP” is an acronym for “strategic laws<span></span>uit </span>
</div>
<div>against public participation,<span>”</span> <span>Salazar v. Pub. Tr. Inst.</span>, 2022 CO<span></span>A </div>
<div>109M, ¶ 1 n.1), requires early dismissal of any claim arising from </div>
<div>conduct protected by the First Amendment that involves a p<span></span>ublic </div>
<div>issue, unless the plaintiff establishes a reasonable likelihood of </div>
<div>prevailing on the claim. § 13-<span>20</span>-1101(3)(a). An order granting or </div>
<div>denying <span>a statutory “special motion to dismiss” </span>is immediately </div>
<div>appealable to the court of appeals. § 13-<span>20</span><span>-1101(7)</span><span>; </span><span>see also</span> § 13-</div>
<div>4-102.2, C.R.S. 2024.<span> </span>The notice of appeal must be filed within<span></span> </div>
<div>forty-nine days after entry of the order <span>on</span> the special motion t<span></span>o </div>
<div>dismiss. <span>See </span>C.A.R. 4(a)(1). </div>
<div>¶ 2<span> </span><span>As a preliminary jurisdictional matter, we must resolve </span>
</div>
<div>whether a motion for reconsideration of <span>an</span> order denying a special </div>
<div>motion to dismiss, which did not cite either C.R.C.P. 59 or C.R.C.<span></span>P. </div>
<div>121, section 1-<span>15</span>(11), toll<span>ed</span> the time for filing a notice of appeal.<span> </span> </div>
<div>¶ 3<span> </span><span>We conclude that the motion for reconsideration is properly </span>
</div>
<div>construed as a Rule 59 motion that tolls the deadline for filing a </div>
<div>notice of appeal under the anti-SLAPP statute<span>. </span>And because the </div>
<div>notice of appeal was filed within forty-nine days after entry of <span></span>the </div>

<div>order denying the motion for reconsideration, the notice of appeal </div>
<div>was timely<span>. </span> Accordingly, we deny the motion to dismiss this ap<span></span>peal. </div>
<div>I.<span> <span>Background <span> </span> </span></span>
</div>
<div>¶ 4<span> </span><span>Plaintiff, Said M. Said, filed <span>a </span>defamation action against his </span>
</div>
<div>wife’s ex<span>-husband, defendant, Mohamed Magdy, alleging that </span>
</div>
<div>Magdy had falsely accused him of committing criminal con<span></span>duct. </div>
<div>Magdy denied the allegations and filed a special motion to dismiss </div>
<div>the complaint under section <span>13</span><span>-<span>20</span>-1101</span><span>. </span>The district court denied </div>
<div>the motion on December 29, 2023<span>. </span>Fourteen days later, Magdy filed </div>
<div>a motion for reconsideration. The district court denied that motion, </div>
<div>too, and thirty days later, on March 20, 2024, Magdy filed a notice </div>
<div>of appeal in this court, seeking review of the order denying his </div>
<div>special motion to dismiss. </div>
<div>¶ 5<span> </span><span>Said moves to dismiss the appeal as untimely, arguing that </span>
</div>
<div>the notice of appeal was not filed within forty-nine days of the </div>
<div>denial of the motion to dismiss. </div>
<div>¶ 6<span> </span><span>In response, Magdy argues that the motion for reconsideration </span>
</div>
<div>was effectively a Rule 59 motion that tolled the time for filing <span></span>the </div>
<div>notice of appeal. And, he asserts, because the notice was filed </div>
</div></div>
<div data-data='{"ctm":[1.277778,0.000000,0.000000,1.277778,0.000000,0.000000]}'></div>
</div>
<div id="pf5" data-page-no="5">
<div><div>
<div> </div>
<div>3 </div>
<div>within forty-nine days of the order denying his motion for </div>
<div>reconsideration, it was timely.<span> </span> </div>
<div>¶ 7<span> </span><span>Alternatively<span>, <span>Magdy argues that even if the notice was </span></span></span>
</div>
<div>untimely, the late filing was attributable to excusable neglect, and, </div>
<div>therefore, we should accept the notice out of time. <span>See</span> C.A.R. </div>
<div>4(a)(4) (“U<span>pon a showing of excusable neglect, the appellate c<span></span>ourt </span>
</div>
<div>may extend the time to file the notice of appeal for a period not <span></span>to </div>
<div>exceed 35 days . . . .<span>”</span><span>).</span> </div>
<div>II.<span> <span>Analysis </span></span>
</div>
<div>¶ 8<span> </span><span>As noted, subject to an exception inapplicable here, a notice of </span>
</div>
<div>appeal in a civil case must be filed “within 49 days after entry of <span></span>the </div>
<div>judgment, decree, or order being appealed.” <span>C.A.R. 4(a)(1). <span>But</span> <span>as </span></span>
</div>
<div>Said acknowledges, a timely filed Rule 59 motion (i.e., one f<span></span>iled </div>
<div>within fourteen days of the order or judgment) tolls the deadline for </div>
<div>filing a notice of appeal. <span>See <span>C.A.R. 4(a)(4) (“</span></span>The running of the <span></span>time </div>
<div>for filing a notice of appeal is terminated as to all parties w<span></span>hen any </div>
<div>party timely files a motion in the lower court pursuant t<span></span>o C.R.C.P. </div>
<div>59<span>” and recommences on entry of a timely order disp<span></span>osing of the </span>
</div>
<div>motion or the expiration of the time for ruling on the motion <span></span>under </div>
</div></div>
<div data-data='{"ctm":[1.277778,0.000000,0.000000,1.277778,0.000000,0.000000]}'></div>
</div>
<div id="pf6" data-page-no="6">
<div><div>
<div> </div>
<div>4 </div>
<div>C.R.C.P. 59(j).); C.R.C.P. 59(j) (after sixty-three days of its filin<span></span>g, any </div>
<div>post-trial motion that has not been decided is deemed denied). </div>
<div>¶ 9<span> </span><span>Said argues, though, <span>that Magdy’s motion for reconsideration</span><span>, </span></span>
</div>
<div>while <span>filed within fourteen days of the court’s order</span> denying the </div>
<div>motion to dismiss, cannot properly be construed as a Rule 59 </div>
<div>motion. <span>According to Said, Rule 59 applies only to “post</span><span>-</span><span>trial” </span>
</div>
<div>motions for relief from a final judgment, and here, b<span></span>ecause no trial </div>
<div>has yet occurred, the order is nonfinal and therefore not subject to </div>
<div>a <span>Rule 59 motion. We disagree. </span>
</div>
<div>¶ 10<span> </span><span>As an initial matter, our case law makes clear that a motion </span>
</div>
<div>for reconsideration can qualify as a Rule 59 motion even if <span>it</span> does </div>
<div>not cite Rule 59, <span>Cuevas v. Pub. Serv. Co. of Colo.</span>, 2023 COA 64M, </div>
<div>¶ <span>13 (“[M]otions to reconsider need not cite or reference C.R.C.<span></span>P. 59 </span>
</div>
<div>to be recognized as falling within its purview.”) (<span>cert. granted on </span>
</div>
<div>other grounds<span> July 1, 2024), and even if no trial is held<span>, </span></span><span>see, e.g.<span>, </span></span>
</div>
<div>Spiremedia Inc. v. Wozniak<span>, 2020 COA 10, ¶ 18 (concluding that <span>a </span></span>
</div>
<div>“motion to reconsider” <span>an order dismissing a case without prej<span></span>udice </span>
</div>
<div>was a Rule 59 motion); <span>Bowlen v. Fed. Deposit Ins. Corp.</span>, 815 P.2<span></span>d </div>
<div>1013, 1015 (Colo. App. 1991) (concluding that a motion to </div>

<div>5 </div>
<div>reconsider an order granting summary judgment was a Rule <span></span>59 </div>
<div>motion). </div>
<div>¶ 11<span> </span><span>And contrary to <span>Said’s </span>position, we conclude that Rule <span>59 </span></span>
</div>
<div>applies to motions seeking relief from orders that<span>, while not “final” </span>
</div>
<div>in the sense that they resolve all claims as to all parties<span>, </span><span>see Wilson </span>
</div>
<div>v. Kennedy<span>, 2020 COA 122, ¶ 7 (explaining finality of<span></span> judgments), </span>
</div>
<div>are nevertheless appealable pursuant to <span>a </span>statute or rule<span>. </span> </div>
<div>¶ 12<span> </span><span>Rule 59(a) provides<span>, </span>in relevant part, <span>that “[w]ithin 14 days of </span></span>
</div>
<div>entry of judgment as provided in C.R.C.P. 58 . . . <span></span>a party may move </div>
<div>for post-<span>trial relief.” </span>Thus, the rule authorizes a post-trial motion </div>
<div>whe<span>never <span>a </span><span>“judgment” is entered </span>under Rule 58. <span>A </span><span>“judgment” </span>for </span>
</div>
<div>purposes of <span>Rule 58 “includes an appealable decree or or<span></span>der as set </span>
</div>
<div>forth in C.R.C.P. 54(a).<span>”</span><span> </span>Rule 54(a), in turn, <span>defines a “judgment” </span>to </div>
<div>include <span>“a decree and order to or from which an appeal lies.” </span> </div>
<div>¶ 13<span> </span><span>So a <span>“judgment” </span>need not be <span>“final” to be subject to a post</span>-trial </span>
</div>
<div>motion. Instead, Rules 54, 58, and 59 require that an order or </div>
<div>judgment <span>be</span> <span>“appealable<span>.”</span></span><span> </span>And while finality is generally a </div>
<div>prerequisite to appealability, <span>see Ditirro v. Sando</span>, 2022 COA 94, </div>
<div>¶ 24, <span>th</span>e rule is subject to various exceptions<span>, </span><span>see, e.g.</span>, § 13-<span>22</span>-</div>

<div> <span>In</span> <span>Przekurat v. Torres</span>, 2016 COA 177, ¶ 53, <span>aff’d</span><span>, </span>2018 CO 69, the </div>

<div>response to a “final order or judgment, not a non<span>-final or </span>
</div>
<div>interlocutory order or judgment.”<span> </span>But we understand the division’s </div>
<div>statement, when read in context, to mean that Rule 59 applies <span></span>only </div>

<div>1-15(11), which does not toll the time for filing a notice of <span></span>appeal.<span> </span>

<div>Rule 121, section 1-15(11) applies to <span>“[m]otions to reconsider </span>
</div>
<div>interlocutory orders of the court . . . other than those <span></span>governed by </div>
<div>C.R.C.P. 59 or 60.” <span>Because Magdy sought relief from an </span>
