Civil Court
Appellate Procedure
Citation
Case Number: 
No. 10-1659
Decision Date: 
May 3, 2010
Federal District: 
W.D. Wisc.
Holding: 
Motion to dismiss appeal denied.
Ct. of Appeals had jurisdiction to consider appeal of Dist. Ct. order granting defendant's motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action even though question arose as to whether said appeal was timely where counsel for plaintiff electronically sent notice of appeal (on last day of appeal period) that contained wrong event code. Although counsel sent corrected notice of appeal on subsequent day, mistake on original notice of appeal did not serve to invalidate said filing since nature of original notice of appeal was sufficiently clear.
