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 Rule 59 “motion to reconsider” a judgment, filed before a separate document, did not waive Rule 58
• concluding that jurisdiction didn’t pass to us when the notice of appeal remained in suspension prior to entry of an order of dismissal
• opining that the district court should have entered a Rule 58 judgment after dismissing the case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction
• explaining that “a notice of appeal divests the district court of jurisdiction over substantive claims” (emphasis added)
• reversing district court ruling that it lacked authority to rule on a Rule 59(e) motion following notice of appeal, where appellant filed a timely amended notice of appeal to challenge denial of motion
• “[T]he Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not recognize that creature known all too well as the ‘motion to reconsider.’”
