Key legal question
Whether the appeal was filed within the statutory time limit
Extracted holding
No; the appeal was filed after expiry of the 30-day period and was therefore late.
Extracted reasoning
Notification occurred by 2007-10-15 at the latest, the deadline began on 2007-10-16 and expired on 2007-11-14, while the appeal was handed to a US post office only on 2007-11-19.
