(1)
Petitioner Nicholas Little’s motion for an extension, docket no. 89, to file
amended objections to Judge Peterson’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), docket
no. 59, and an amended motion for a certificate of appealability is STRICKEN as moot.
Petitioner prematurely filed a notice of appeal on July 20, 2021, see docket no. 85, and
final judgment was entered two days later, on July 22, 2021, see docket no. 87. The
Court now lacks jurisdiction to rule on the pending motion, docket no. 89, or to
reconsider its adoption of the R&R and its related rulings. See Griggs v. Provident
Consumer Disc. Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982) (“The filing of a notice of appeal is an event
of jurisdictional significance—it confers jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests
the district court of its control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal.”).

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to Petitioner,
proceeding pro se, and all counsel of record.
