9th Cir. (criminal) Time to Appeal case

The 9th Circuit recently published this opinion about when to appeal in a criminal case involving a restitution order:
Rejecting the government’s argument that the notice of appeal is untimely because the defendant did not appeal within fourteen days of the district court’s entry of judgment of his custodial sentence, the panel held that where a district court defers its restitution order, a defendant wishing to appeal his conviction and sentence of imprisonment may enter a notice of appeal either within fourteen days following the district court’s entry of the custodial sentence, or within fourteen days of the entry of the amended judgment, which includes the amount of restitution.
