Rule 58(e). Minute Entries: Notice of Entry of Judgments

    The clerk shall distribute, either by U.S. mail, electronic mail, or attorney drop box, copies of all minute entries to all parties. Immediately upon the entry of a judgment as defined in Rule 54(a), the clerk shall distribute, either by U.S. mail, electronic mail, or attorney drop box, a notice of the entry of judgment stating the date of entry, in the manner provided for in Rule 5, to
every party who is not in default for failure to appear, and shall make a record of the distribution. Any party may in addition serve a notice of such entry, in the manner provided in Rule 5 for the service of papers. In the case of a judgment in the form of a minute entry, the date of entry shall be the date on which the clerk affixes a file stamp on the minute entry. Lack of notice of the entry by the clerk does not affect the time to appeal or relieve or authorize the court to relieve a party for failure to appeal within the time allowed, except as provided in Rule 9(a), Arizona Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure.

    Notice of the entry of judgment shall be accomplished by any of the following:

    1. a specifically designated notice form;

    2. a minute entry;

    3. a conformed copy of the file stamped judgment.
