Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,219 et seq. § 25-21,233
Forcible entry and detainer; appeal; procedure.
Operative Text
Any party against whom judgment has been entered in an action of forcible entry and detention, or forcible detention only, of real property, may appeal as provided for in a civil action. In an action for forcible entry and detainer, the plain language of this section does not allow an immediate appeal of an order of restitution when the order implicates section 25-1315, meaning the order adjudicates fewer than all claims for relief or the rights and liabilities of fewer than all the parties, without being certified pursuant to section 25-1315(1). TDP Phase One v. The Club at the Yard, 307 Neb. 795, 950 N.W.2d 640 (2020).
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,219 et seq. § 25-21,233, any party who loses a forcible entry and detainer judgment in Nebraska has the right to appeal that decision through the standard civil appeals process. However, not every order issued during such a case is immediately appealable — specifically, an order of restitution that resolves fewer than all claims or fewer than all parties' rights cannot be appealed right away unless it has been certified under Nebraska's partial-judgment rule (§ 25-1315(1)). This limitation was clarified by the Nebraska Supreme Court in TDP Phase One v. The Club at the Yard (2020).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers pursuing eviction actions in Nebraska should be aware that Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,219 et seq. § 25-21,233 gives the losing party in a forcible entry and detainer case the right to appeal through the civil appeals process. Compliant operators generally account for the possibility of an appeal when planning next steps after a judgment. Where a case involves multiple claims or multiple parties, landlords typically ensure that any order of restitution either resolves all claims and parties or is properly certified under § 25-1315(1) before treating it as a final, immediately appealable order.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If a court enters a judgment against you in a Nebraska eviction proceeding, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,219 et seq. § 25-21,233 provides a right to appeal following the same procedures used in civil cases generally. Tenants should be aware, however, that not every order — particularly a restitution order that does not resolve all claims or all parties — is automatically eligible for immediate appeal without proper certification under § 25-1315(1). Tenants facing an eviction judgment may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand which orders are appealable and what procedural steps apply in their situation.
