UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESUS NABARETTE ANGUIANO,

Petitioner,

v.

SCOTT FRAUENHEIM,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01779-SAB-HC

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S 

MOTION FOR ORDER TO FILE/ACCEPT

LATE SUBMISSION OF NOTICE OF 

APPEAL

(ECF No. 15)

Petitioner is a state prisoner who was represented by counsel during the instant federal 

habeas corpus proceeding. Petitioner consented to the jurisdiction of a United States magistrate 

judge to conduct all proceedings in the instant case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). (ECF No. 4). 

On February 9, 2016, the Court denied the petition and entered judgment. (ECF Nos. 13, 14). 

On April 29, 2016, Petitioner filed the instant motion, requesting to file a late notice of 

appeal. (ECF No. 15). Petitioner alleges he never received notification from the Court that his 

petition had been denied and judgment had been entered. (Id. at 1).1Petitioner declares that he 

first learned of the Court’s denial of his federal habeas petition through a letter from his attorney, 

which Petitioner received on or about April 5, 2016. (Id. at 3). 

The time for filing a notice of appeal is 30 days after entry of the judgment or order 

appealed from, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), which is in the instant case was March 10, 2016.

However, the Court may reopen the time to file an appeal for a period of 14 days if:

(A)the court finds that the moving party did not receive notice 

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 77(d) of the entry of the 

judgment or order sought to be appealed within 21 days after 

entry;

(B) the motion is filed within 180 days after the judgment or order 

is entered or within 14 days after the moving party receives 

notice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 77(d) of the 

entry, whichever is earlier; and

(C) the court finds that no party would be prejudiced.

Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6).

Here, because Petitioner was represented by counsel at the time, the Court served notice 

of the judgment and order denying the petition on Petitioner’s counsel by electronic means on 

the same day the judgment and order were entered. Such service is in compliance with Rules 

77(d) and 5(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Therefore, the Court cannot reopen the 

time to file an appeal under Rule 4(a)(6) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY DENIES Petitioner’s motion for an order to file a late 

notice of appeal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
