Date Filed Document Text
August 27, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER FILED. On August 20, 2026, the district court vacated the May 26, 2026 judgment challenged in this appeal and reentered a new judgment. To date, appellant has not filed a notice of appeal in the district court from the new August 20, 2026 judgment. Within 14 days, appellant must either file a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal or file a statement explaining why it should not be dismissed because the May 26, 2026 judgment has been vacated. If appellant does not do so, the court will dismiss the appeal. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1. If appellant files a statement, appellees may file a response within 10 days. Briefing is stayed.

July 8, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER FILED. The notice of appeal was not filed within 30 days after the district court entered judgment on May 26, 2026. See 28 U.S.C. 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), (c). The court may therefore lack jurisdiction over this request for a certificate of appealability (COA). See United States v. Sadler, 480 F.3d 932, 937 (9th Cir. 2007) (requirement of timely notice of appeal is jurisdictional); see also Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), (a)(6); 26(b)(1) (only the district court can extend the time to file a notice of appeal). Within 21 days, appellant must either file a motion to voluntarily dismiss this request for a COA or file a statement explaining why it should not be dismissed. If appellant does not do so, the court will dismiss the request for a COA. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1. If appellant files a statement, appellee may file a response within 10 days. Briefing is stayed.
