On October 30, 1992, the defendant filed a motion for new trial, and that motion was denied on November 19, 1992.

Relying on
Edward Frank Rozman Co. v. Keillor,
On January 29, 1993, the defendant appealed to the Nebraska Court of Aрpeals. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary affirmance pursuant to Neb. Ct. R. of Prac. 7B(2) (rev. 1992) for lack of jurisdiction. On June 4,1993, the Court of Appeals sustained the plaintiff’s motion and summarily affirmed the judgment.
The defendant’s petition for further review by this court was granted. The defendant asserts that the Court of Appeals erred in granting the рlaintiff’s motion for summary affirmance.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-2701 (Reissue 1989) provides:
All provisions in the codes of criminal and civil procedure governing actions and proceedings in the district court not in conflict with statutes specifically governing procedure in сounty courts and related to matters for which no specific provisions have been made for county сourts shall govern and apply to all actions and proceedings in the county court.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-2729 (Reissue 1989) рrovides the procedure for perfecting appeals from the county court. It states in part:
(1) In ordеr to perfect an appeal from the county court, the appealing party shall within thirty days after the rendition of the judgment or making of the final order complained of:
(a) File with the clerk of the county court а notice of appeal; and
(b) Deposit with the clerk of the county court a docket fee in the аmount of the filing fee in district court.
There are no statutory provisions applicable to county courts рroviding for motions for new trial; however, there are provisions for motions for new trial applicable to proceedings *61 in the district court which are not in conflict with statutes applicable to county court proceedings, and according to § 25-2701, these provisions for motions for new trial applicable in the district court shall apply in the county court.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1315.03 (Cum. Supp. 1992) provides that an order on a motion for new trial is а final order for purposes of appeal, and the time and manner for perfecting an appеal therefrom are the same as in an appeal from a judgment, decree, or final order of the distriсt court in a civil action.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1912 (Cum. Supp. 1992) provides the procedure for perfecting an apрeal from the district court to the Court of Appeals or this court. An appellant is given 30 days from rendition of judgmеnt, decree, or final order to file a notice of appeal and deposit his or her docket fеe. § 25-1912(1). Section 25-1912(2) states in part:
The running of the time for filing a notice of appeal shall be terminated as tо all parties (a) by a motion for a new trial under section 25-1143 if such motion is filed by any party within ten days after the verdict, report, or decision was rendered or (b) by a motion to set aside the verdict or judgment under section 25-1315.02 if such motion is filed by any party within ten days after the receipt of a verdict, and the full time for appeal fixed in subsection (1) of this section commences to run from the entry of the order ruling upon the motion filed pursuant to subdivision (a) оr (b) of this subsection.
In
Edward Frank Rozman Co. v. Keillor,
Keillor was decided prior to enactment of § 25-2729, which provides “thirty days after thе rendition of the judgment or making of the final order complained of” within which a notice of appeal and docket fee must be filed in the county court.
In
Henry
v.
Reeves,
The county court judgment was entered on December 22,1987. A motion for a new trial was filed on Dеcember 31, 1987, and was overruled on January 12, 1988. The notice of appeal was filed in county court on Februаry 12, 1988. This, of course, was 31 days after the entry of the final order of which complaint was made.

In the Reeves case, the final order of which complaint was made was the county court’s overruling of the defendant’s motion for new trial, and it was obviously filed after the 30-day filing period provided in § 25-2729.
In the present case, the defendant filed his motion for new trial within 10 days of the county court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff and overruling the defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The county court’s order denying the defendаnt’s motion for new trial was issued on November 19, 1992. The defendant’s notice of appeal from that order was filеd within 30 days of November 19, on December 8, 1992, and was timely according to § 25-2729 and Reeves.
The Court of Appeals erred in summarily affirming this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded to the Court of Appeals with directions to remand the cause to the district court.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
