Filing 14
ORDER: 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 July 15, 2026, and the notice of appeal was filed on August 17, 2026, three days late. The district court denied an extension of the appeal period, see 28 U.S.C. 2107(c); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), and this court is not empowered to grant an extension itself, see Fed. R. App. P. 26(b). Accordingly, appellant shall file, on or before October 27, 2026, a brief memorandum stating why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. 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.
