That depends on many factors, including how much more than 60 days have passed.

Generally, if neither the court nor a party serves a notice of entry of judgment (or a file-stamped copy of the judgment), then an appeal can be filed up to 180 days after judgment was entered. But calculating the deadline is difficult, and the rules are much more complex than I can explain here. Even experts aren't always right. You should consult with an appellate specialist if you are considering filing an appeal, or if you worry that the other side might do so.

I am a certified appellate specialist (per the State Bar of California) and would be happy to discuss your case with you.
