June 15, 2026	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 50(b) or 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 under Rule 50(b) and Rule 59 on June 8, 2026, within 28 days of entry of the final judgment on May 26, 2026. See Dual-Temp of Illinois, Inc. v. Hench Control, Inc., 777 F.3d 429, 430 (7th Cir. 2015) (judgment not final until prejudgment interest is calculated). This motion 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. If a party contends that this appeal should not be suspended, then that party should file a brief memorandum on or before June 29, 2026, stating why suspension is not appropriate. Further, appellant shall file a status report within seven days of a ruling on the motion, or on or shortly before July 15, 2026, if no order has yet issued.
