Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 50(b) is a claim-processing rule, not 8 14-723-cv Weitzner v. Cynosure, Inc. 1 imposed by statute
  • noting that the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case “is a jurisdictional requirement that cannot be forfeited or waived”
  • noting that ”[a]l-though this is a harsh and unfortunate result for [defendant], as it relied on the extension granted by the district court, [defendant] is not without fault—a simple scan of Rule 6(b)(2
  • explaining that Rule 6(b)’s “prohibition against extending” the time periods for filing certain motions is a “nonjurisdictional claim-processing rule[],” meaning that such “timeliness requirements may be forfeited if they are not timely raised”
  • noting that claim-processing issues \may be forfeited if they are not timely raised\
  • no waiver where party failed to oppose request for extension but subsequently raised objection in response to Rule 50(b) motion
