• “We have held that at least in some circumstances a motion for an extension constitutes a notice of appeal.”
• “[T]he motion for an extension of time to request a certificate of appealability is an attenuated example of a functional equivalent to a notice of appeal, and probably lies at the outer limit of what motions may suffice under Smith v. Barry.”
