September 4, 2025 Filing 29 Notice of Court Action by USCA: After review of the district court docket entries, it appears that the notice of appeal was filed before the disposition of a filing that is properly construed as a timely tolling motion. See FRAP 4(a)(4)(A); Finch v. City of Vernon, 845 F.2d 256, 258 59 (11th Cir. 1988) (providing that any post judgment motion that is timely and "calls into question the correctness of [the] judgment" is deemed a tolling motion regardless of how it is formally styled). The notice of appeal becomes effective when the order disposing of the motion is entered, and the district court retains jurisdiction to rule on the timely tolling motion. See FRAP 4(a)(4). All appeal deadlines are suspended pending the district court's entry of an order disposing of the motion. Upon entry of the district court's order, the time to take required action will begin to run anew without further notice re #24 Motion. USCA #25-12714-F. (apz)
