Lim v. BMO Financial Group et al

Filing 64

ORDER signed by Judge Lynn Adelman on 4/13/12 denying as moot 48 MOTION for Extension of Time filed by Khor Chin Lim. (cc: all counsel, via USPS to plaintiff)(dm)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
KHOR CHIN LIM,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 11-CV-00666

BMO FINANCIAL GROUP, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
The final judgment dismissing this case was filed on January 19, 2012. On February
2, 2012, pro se plaintiff Khor Chin Lim filed a motion asking for an extension of the time
normally allowed for filing a notice of appeal. Along with this motion for an extension of
time, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. He then filed a second notice of appeal on February
13, 2012. Since Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1)(A) gives a party 30 days from
the entry of judgment to file a notice of appeal, and since plaintiff filed both of his notices
within that time period, I find that his request for additional time was unnecessary.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to extend the time allowed to
file a notice of appeal [DOCKET #48] is DENIED AS MOOT.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 13th day of April 2012.
