Law of Criminal Procedure

Upon pronouncing the judgment, the court shall set a date not later than 10 days to receive a copy of the judgment. A note to this effect shall be entered in the case file and signed by the parties. If any party fails to appear in order to receive a copy of the judgment, said copy shall be deposited in the case file on the same date and a note to this effect shall be entered into the record. The date of depositing said judgment shall be deemed the beginning of the statutory period for appeal. A copy of the judgment statement shall be duly delivered to the prisoner or detainee within the period specified for delivery at the place of imprisonment or detention through the process server. The warden of prison or detention center, or designees, as well as the prisoner or detainee and the process server shall sign both the original and the copy. The copy shall be delivered to the prison or detention administration, and the original shall be returned to the court. The authority in charge of the prisoner or detainee shall bring him to the court in order to file his appeal to the judgment within the specified period for appeal, or waive such right and enter his signature to this effect in the case record.
