Hentif, et al. v. Obama, et al., No. 12-5314 (D.C. Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseUnder 28 U.S.C. 2107, an appeal must be filed within 60 days after the entry of judgment, order or decree. At issue was whether "the entry" of the order at issue occurred when the district court's clerk's office posted on its docket a notice that the district court had issued a classified memorandum and order denying a motion for reconsideration of the denial of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and that a redacted version would be posted when it became available, or when the redacted opinion and order were subsequently posted on the docket. The court concluded that the first posting qualified as an "entry" under section 2107 and, therefore, the notice of appeal was untimely filed in this case and the court lacked jurisdiction. Accordingly, the court dismissed the appeal.
