Key legal question
Whether the federal criminal appeal was filed within the statutory 30-day time limit
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed after expiry of the deadline and is therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The relevant date is the postal delivery to an authorized recipient on 21 June 2013, not the law firm’s internal receipt stamp. Even with the statutory suspension period, the deadline expired on 22 August 2013; the filing on 26 August 2013 was late.
