How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a timely FRCP 2 59(e) motion that was filed after a notice of appeal rendered the notice of appeal “not merely 3 defective; it was a nullity[,]” so the district court “erred in denying the motion solely on the ground 4 that it lacked jurisdiction”
- district court retains subject matter jurisdiction to consider a timely Rule 59(e) motion when filed after a notice of appeal
- “Because the purpose of Rule 4(a)(4) is to 14 prevent duplication of effort by the courts, appellate review of the underlying merits of 15 [petitioner’s appeal] would be premature prior to the district court’s consideration of the 16 motion to alter or amend the judgment.”
