Filing 5
ORDER: The appellant and appellees each shall file, on or before April 15, 2026, a brief memorandum addressing whether this court has jurisdiction over this appeal and whether this appeal should be remanded to the district court to enter a corrected judgment. The memorandums should distinguish between the possibilities that any deficiency in the judgment reflects (1) a mere clerical mistake, for which a remedy is remand for correction or (2) the absence of a final decision under 28 U.S.C. 1291, requiring the court to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Grunt Style LLC v. TWD, LLC, 140 F.4th 839, 844 (7th Cir. 2025). A motion for voluntary dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 42(b) will satisfy this requirement. Briefing is SUSPENDED pending further court order. (See order for further details.) [7514725] JXK [5] [7514725] [26-1611] (CG) [Entered: 04/01/2026 12:02 PM]
