How long to file appeal after jury verdict

I was wondering how long a defense attorney has to file an appeal in a civil jury trial. It is my understanding that the defense has 10 days to file for an intent to appeal which has already been done but I have heard different time allowances for the actual appeal. Thank You very much for yor time.
