Question presented

Question 1: Did the Appellate Court erroneously calculate the filing deadline for the Notice of Appeal as January 21, 2021 instead of January 25, 2021 when it neglected to add the additional 3 day allowance for the Pro Se filer to file? Question 2: Did the Appellate Court err in their decision when they failed to consider that the notice of judgement was received after January 21,2021? Should excusable neglect have been allowed under this circumstance?
