Filing 5
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 or a motion under Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure filed within the time available for a Rule 59 motionis 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 Rule 60 motion. If a party contends that this appeal should not be suspended, then that party should file a brief memorandum on or before April 23, 2026, stating why suspension is not appropriate. Appellee shall file a status report within seven days of a ruling on the Rule 60 motion, or on or shortly before May 11, 2026, if no order has yet issued. (See order for further details).
