MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on the clerk of court’s discovery of an unfiled
document. On Wednesday, January 30, 2013, the clerk of this court advised me that, on
January 24, 2013, a court employee discovered a document entitled “Motion for
Appealey” in the desk drawer of an employee who terminated his employment with the
clerk’s office in September 2012. The document is signed by Petitioner Michael
Woolman, is dated August 8, 2011, and is file stamped as August 9, 2011. The document
is similar to other documents filed by Petitioner in August 2011, in that it is addressed to
the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and appears to have been sent to this court by
Petitioner as a notice of filing.
The court has reviewed the document and will order the clerk’s office to file it as
of August 9, 2011. Because the document is a merely a notice of filing, no action is
required by this court.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: The clerk’s office is directed to file the
above-referenced document as of August 9, 2011, as a Notice of Filing.
DATED this 31st day of January, 2013.
BY THE COURT:
Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
