October 20, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER: A preliminary review of the short record suggests that the order appealed from may not yet be a final decision within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 1291. A notice of appeal filed before the district court issues its ruling on a timely motion under Rule 59 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is ineffective until the order disposing of the motion is entered on the district courts civil docket. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4). Proceedings in this appeal are SUSPENDED pending the district court's resolution of the motion for reconsideration. If a party contends that this appeal should not be suspended, then that party should file a brief memorandum on or before November 3, 2025, stating why suspension is not appropriate. Appellant shall file a status report within seven days of a ruling on the motion for reconsideration, or on or shortly before November 20, 2025, if no order has yet issued.
