v.

THE COUNTY OF FRANKLIN, OHIO, et al.,
Defendants.
OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Todd Triplett’s Motion for Extension of Time
to File Notice of Appeal. (ECF No. 86.) Plaintiff moves under Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure 4(a), which permits the district court to extend the time for a party to file a notice of
appeal if the party “moves no later than 30 days after the time prescribed by Rule 4(a) expires;
and . . . shows excusable neglect or good cause.” Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(A)(i), (ii). Plaintiff
has timely moved and has shown good cause for the extension. The Court therefore GRANTS
Plaintiff’s motion. Plaintiff shall be permitted an extension of time to file notice of his appeal to
“30 days after the prescribed time [under Rule 4] or 14 days after the date when the order
granting the motion is entered, whichever is later.” Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(C).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
