Don't Be Late E-Filing Your Notice of Appeal
Howard J. Bashman via law.com reports: Just last week, two different federal appellate courts disposed of separate cases in which parties alleged electronic filing-related tales of woe as the excuse for the untimely notice of appeal filed in each case. In neither case did the federal appellate court find the reasons offered for allowing a late-filed notice of appeal to be persuasive, and thus both cases resulted in dismissals without any review on the merits of the rulings sought to be challenged on appeal. Fortunately, for the rest of us, these two rulings teach some valuable lessons.
