Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was timely and could be supplemented with missing citations
Extracted holding
The appeal was treated as timely, but the request for an additional deadline to complete the reasoning was inadmissible because it would have served to add missing grounds rather than correct an existing one.
Extracted reasoning
The filing was deemed timely on the circumstances of dispatch. However, a short curing period under the Federal Judiciary Act can only correct an existing reasoning, not add a missing one, and the appellant sought to add absent record references required for factual challenges.
