Date Filed Document Text
June 22, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER (Clerk) The foregoing motion has been placed on this Court's docket, but no further action will be taken on it. It is unclear what litigation the appellant wants to resume. This appeal is proceeding. In May, this Court issued its opinion and judgment, which concluded the appeal except for the possibility of seeking rehearing. The appellant submitted a petition for rehearing along with exhibits and a motion to include those exhibits. He later filed a motion to amend his petition for rehearing. Those motions are pending with the Court. The appellant will be notified when they have been decided. (TMM) [Entered: 06/22/2026 03:02 PM]

June 11, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 24 MOTION filed by Appellant Preston Wayne Walters for Leave to Amend Petition for Rehearing. (TMM) [Entered: 06/17/2026 03:24 PM]
June 4, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 23 ORDER (Clerk) no action will be taken on the foregoing motion as it is unnecessary. Appellant's petition for rehearing was due on or before May 26, 2026. It appears that Appellant delivered the petition to prison officials for mailing on that date, and the Clerk received the petition on June 3, 2026. Accordingly, Appellant's petition is deemed timely filed. It is noted that Appellant's motion for leave to file the exhibits attached to the rehearing remains pending. The Court will issue a separate order addressing that motion. (TMM) [Entered: 06/04/2026 04:46 PM]

If Appellant wishes to seek review of the Court's decision, he may file a petition for rehearing in accordance with Fed. R. App. P. 40 and 3d Cir. L.A.R. 35 and 40. Any petition for rehearing must be fied on or before May 26, 2026, or it must be accompanied by a motion for leave to file a petition out of time.--[Edited 05/18/2026 by TMM] (TMM) [Entered: 05/15/2026 02:41 PM]
