Description
Before WOOD and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges, and DUMBAULD, Senior District Judge.* EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. Our decision in this case dismissed two of the three appeals as untimely. The third appeal, we held, brought up only the award of attorneys' fees, which we affirmed. The district court's judgment on the merits was entered on May 10, 1984, and appeal No. 84-2037 was filed on June 18. The decision to dismiss this appeal rested in part on a construction of a minute order of the district court filed on June 18, stating that the ""time for filing notice of appeal is extended ten (10) days from May 10, 1984."" This is a puzzling order, because the Danielses (the Borrowers) had 30 days from May 10 even without the order. But because the parties had not sought clarification of this order from the district court and had not argued its meaning in this court, we concluded that it did not make the notice of appeal filed June 18 timely. Before reaching this conclusion, we searched the record for any clue about the order's meaning, particularly a contemporaneous explanation by the district court. We found none.
