2. Time limits for filing appeals

An appeal from a decision granting or denying preliminary injunctive relief should be made within 14 days to the Supreme Court of Alabama.  Ala. R. Civ. P. 4(a)(1)(A).  Otherwise, a notice of appeal must be filed with the clerk of the trial court within forty-two days (six weeks) of the date of entry of a final  order.
