Hitchmon, 602 F.2d 689, 693 (5th Cir. 1979) (noting the contrary rule “leaves the court powerless to prevent intentional dilatory tactics, forecloses without remedy the nonappealing party’s right to continuing trial court jurisdiction, and inhibits the smooth and efficient functioning of the judicial process), superseded on other grounds as recognized in United States v. Martinez, 763 F.2d 1297, 1308 n.11 (11th Cir. 1985). Dockets.Justia.com 2244(b)(3); 28 U.S.C. § 1631.2 SO ORDERED this 16th day of November, 2015. _________________________________ JANE J.
