United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 24-7066 September Term, 2024

Filed On: November 12, 2024

Lokesh B. Vuyyuru, M.D.,

Appellant

v.

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, et al.,

Appellees

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Henderson, Pillard, and Walker, Circuit Judges

J U D G M E N T

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court

for the District of Columbia and on the brief and appendix filed by appellant. See Fed.

R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s May 29, 2024 minute order

be affirmed. The district court assumed that appellant was eligible for relief under

Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(6) because he did not receive notice from the

Clerk of the district court, as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 77(d),

regarding the district court’s September 2023 order dismissing the underlying case. 

The district court nonetheless concluded, as a matter of discretion, that relief was not

warranted because appellant had actual notice of the September 2023 order but waited

five months to file his Rule 4(a)(6) motion. Appellant has forfeited any challenge to this

conclusion by not addressing it in his brief. See United States ex rel. Totten v.

Bombardier Corp., 380 F.3d 488, 497 (D.C. Cir. 2004).
