May 13, 2026 Filing 4 Filed District Court order dated 05/12/2026. The motion for reconsideration [14] is denied. Forwarded to JXK. [4] [7525347] [26-2031] (JR) [Entered: 05/13/2026 03:46 PM]

May 12, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 2 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). In the present case, appellant filed a motion for reconsideration on May 8, 2026, within 28 days of entry of judgment on April 20, 2026. This motion may be a timely Rule 59 motion. See Carlson v. CSX Transp., Inc., 758 F.3d 819, 82526 (7th Cir. 2014). As such, it appears to render this appeal premature, because the district court has not yet disposed of the motion and entered its order on the civil docket. Florian v. Sequa Corp., 294 F.3d 828, 829 (7th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, 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 May 26, 2026, stating why suspension is not appropriate. Further, appellee shall file a status report within seven days of a ruling on the motion for reconsideration, or on or shortly before June 12, 2026, if no order has yet issued.
