19 	{t} 	Defendants, 	self-represented 	litigants, 	appeal 	from 	the 	district 	court's
20 judgment, after a jury trial, for compensatory and punitive damages. In this Court' s
21 	notice of proposed disposition, we proposed to dismiss based on an untimely notice
22 	of appeal. Defendants and Plaintiff filed memoranda in opposition and support,

Filed 5/31/2019 8:58 AM

1 respectively, which we have duly considered. By their MIO, Defendants essentially
2 	argue that the appellate rules regarding the deadlines for filing notices of appeal are
3 	contradictory. Plaintiff argues that not only are there no conflicts or ambiguities
4 	regarding the deadlines for filing notices of appeal in our appellate rules, but, in any
5 event, Defendants are not entitled to an additional nineteen-day extension beyond the
6 thirty-day extension, which the district court denied. We are unpersuaded that there
7 	is any conflict or ambiguity in the appellate rules regarding deadlines for filing
8 notices of appeal. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in our notice of proposed
9 	disposition and herein, we dismiss the appeal as untimely.
