1. Motion, Doc. 94, granted as specified for good cause shown. The Court extends Spears's deadline to file his notice of appeal from 25 November 2024 [*] to 25 December 2024. [**] Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5).
2. Spears's embedded motion for copies is granted. The Court directs the Clerk to send him a copy of the docket sheet and copies of Doc. 1, 2, 7,11, 12,55, 79, 80, 81, & 89.
So Ordered.
[*] The Court entered Judgment on 25 October 2024. The thirty-day period to file his notice of appeal ends on Sunday, 24 November 2024. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). Because that period ends on a Sunday, his notice of appeal would be due by Monday, 25 November 2024. Fed. R. App. P. 26(a)(1)(C).
[**] The Court is mindful that December 25th is Christmas Day. But that's the maximum extension this Court can grant. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(C). Because that day is a legal holiday, the applicable rule gives Spears until 26 December 2024 to file his notice of appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 26(a)(1)(C) & (a)(5).
