Date Filed	Document Text
July 1, 2026	Filing 2 ORDER: A preliminary review of the short record suggests that this appeal may be frivolous. Rule 4(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and 28 U.S.C. 2107(a) require that a notice of appeal in a civil case be filed in the district court within 30 days of the entry of the judgment or order appealed. In this case judgment was entered on October 14, 2009. Appellant moved for relief from the judgment on June 2, 2026. Because this motion was filed more than 28 days after the judgment, it did not suspend the time to appeal the judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4); Banks v. Chicago Bd. of Educ., 750 F.3d 663, 666 (7th Cir. 2014). IT IS ORDERED that appellant shall file, on or before July 15, 2026, a brief memorandum stating why the judgment should not be summarily affirmed or this appeal dismissed as frivolous, 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). A motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 42(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure will satisfy this requirement. Briefing is SUSPENDED pending further court order.
