However, given the structure of procedures set forth for a party to submit a proposed order, with the opposing party given the opportunity to object thereto, and having the order entered by the Court at a later date, such a standard is untenable. Put simply, despite the date of the submission of an order, a party is entitled to the statutorily allowed time frame from the date the order is actually entered to file a notice of appeal Any other holding must be error as a matter of law. In the case at hand, Appellant contacted the Court within the 30 days allowed to file a notice of appeal. At that time, Appellant was provided incorrect information which it relied on to its detriment. But for the incorrect information, which was obtained from the Court within the 30 days permitted to file an appeal, the Notice of Appeal could have and would have been timely. B. The Trust's Motion Was Specifically Directed By The Supreme Court Appellee argues that the Appellate Court may affirm a ruling on any grounds presented to the District Court, whether relied upon by the District Court or not. In this regard, Appellee argues that the underlying Motion for Extension of Time to File Appeal was untimely itself, and therefore the Court may elect to affirm the decision on the grounds that the Motion was untimely. While Appellee's argument may technically be true, given the facts of this case, the argument flies in the face of logic. Why would Appellant file a Motion requesting an extension of time to file an appeal it believed was 3 timely filed?

'Order of the Utah Supreme Court dated June 1, J"9 (emphasis added) (Index No. argument that the unique circumstances doctrine applies to the facts of this case. Indeed, the cases cited by Appellee support Appellant's position. It is "in the best interests of justice" to allow this appeal. The unique circumstances of relying directly on information provided by the Court, to the detriment of Appellant, demonstrate that not only does justice suggest the appeal should be allowed, justice demands it should be allowed. D, The District Court Improperly Denied The Motion To Reconsider As set forth in Appellant's opening brief, the denial of the Motion to Reconsider was an abuse of discretion by Judge Peuler. The facts present in this case clearly mandated that the Court permit the Appeal and grant the Motion for an Extension of Time to file the appeal. Judge Peuler's refusal to do so, when presented with the relevant facts and law, was an abuse of discretion. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, and the reasons set forth in Appellant's opening brief, Appellant respectfully requests that this Court reverse the findings of the District Court and remand this case to the District Court with instructions to permit the Robertson Family Trust leave for an extension of time to renew their Appeal.

The courts have been called “a powerful, multifaceted, local legal institution”3 which “helped design and weave together the social, economic, and political fabric”4 of American society.

After appealing that decision, Petitioner brought a petition in federal court under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. But the district court Appellate Case: 19-4151 Document: 010110554585 Date Filed: 07/28/2021 Page: 2 found the state court’s dismissal procedurally barred federal relief. So the district court dismissed the petition and granted judgment for Respondent the State of Utah, denying a certificate of appealability. Petitioner appealed, and a judge of this Court issued a certificate of appealability on two issues. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253(a) and affirm the district court on both issues. I. In 2005, Petitioner filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus in a Utah state court, related to his 1995 conviction for sex crimes (the state court petition).

  • Chapter 7 Appeals
    CHAPTER 7 APPEALS IN GENERAL This chapter provides information about state law provisions concerning appeals authorities and time limitations for review for first-level appeals, second-level appeals, and judicial review. The Social Security Act (SSA) requires states to offer “opportunity for a fair hearing before an impartial tribunal, for all individuals whose claims for unemployment compensation are denied.” Hence, all states’ laws provide for a right to appeal. Further, all but a few states’ laws provide for a second-level appeal. In all states, individuals who are not satisfied with the outcome of the administrative appeal(s) may appeal their cases in the state court system, federal courts, and, as a last resort, the U.S. Supreme Court. In all states, employers who have an interest are granted the right to appeal decisions on claims as well. As a result of California Department of Human Resources Development v. Java, 402 U.S. 121 (1971), once a UI claimant has been found eligible for benefits, such claimant will continue to receive benefits until a decision is issued reversing the determination allowing benefits. Thus, an employer’s appeal will not affect the continuance of payment of benefits until a subsequent decision is issued denying benefits. The majority of state laws specifically provide for the payment of benefits pending an appeal of a determination or decision allowing benefits, while other states have either interpreted their laws or have been required by court order to follow this procedure. In all states, this procedure applies to any determination or decision issued allowing benefits. Most of the states specify that findings of fact, conclusions of law, or final orders made by a UI hearing officer or board of review will not be binding in any separate or subsequent proceeding brought in any court, judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceeding in that state or of the U.S.
