No. 09-1119
Appeal from the United States District Court

ORDER
_________________
This court entered an order on February 6, 2009, directing the appellant to show
cause within twenty-one days why the appeal should not be dismissed for failure to
comply with Fed. R. App. P. 4(a). The appellant failed to respond.
The documents before this court reflect that the decision of the district court was
entered on December 12, 2008. The time for filing a notice of appeal runs from entry
of the judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1). Because no separate judgment was
entered by the district court as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a)(1), the judgment is
treated as filed 150 days after entry of the decision. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(7)(A)(ii).
Accordingly, the notice of appeal was timely filed on January 14, 2009. See Fed. R.
App. P. 4(a), and 26(a).
It is ordered that the show cause order is withdrawn.
ENTERED BY ORDER OF THE COURT
/s/ Leonard Green
