NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH R. RIOS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CRISTINA L. JOHNSON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-06655-EMC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A 

NOTICE OF APPEAL

Docket No. 17

Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal is DENIED because it 

was not timely filed. Docket No. 17. A party in a civil action such as this must file a notice of 

appeal within 30 days after entry of the judgment. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). The deadline to 

file a notice of appeal can be extended only if a party requests an extension of the deadline “no 

later than 30 days after the time period prescribed by this Rule 4(a) expires,” and shows excusable 

neglect or good cause for the extension. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(A). Here, the action was 

dismissed and judgment was entered on November 27, 2018. Plaintiff’s motion for extension of 

the time to file a notice of appeal was filed on March 13, 2019, 106 days later and therefore not 

within 60 days after the entry of judgment. The motion cannot be granted because it is untimely. 

See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(A). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 3, 2019
