Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Questions presented

  1. Whether an unsigned and uninitialed document entitled “Courtroom Minutes – Civil,” hyperlinked to a “Minute Entry” in the docket constitutes an “Order” for purposes of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a); and

  2. Even if the “Courtroom Minutes – Civil” are deemed an Order, whether the docket entry of this document as a “Minute Entry” constitutes entry of an “Order” under Connecticut Court District Local Rule 77(a) (2), which provides that “the notation in the appropriate docket of an ‘order’…shall constitute the entry of this order,” and therefore triggers the time to appeal.
