X. filed a federal appeal against a Vaud cantonal ruling concerning definitive discharge of opposition. The appeal was filed within time but contained no motivation. The Federal Tribunal held that the statutory period for filing a reasoned appeal had expired and could not be extended, so no deadline for a supplemental brief could be granted. The appeal was declared inadmissible in simplified procedure, and court costs of CHF 1,200 were charged to X.

Art. 42 LTF, Art. 47 al. 1 LTF, Art. 100 al. 1 LTF, Art. 108 al. 1 LTF; an appeal to the Federal Tribunal is inadmissible if it lacks any reasoning. Where the appeal period has expired and is non-extendable, the appellant cannot be granted a subsequent deadline to cure the absence of motivation. In such a case, the court may issue a simplified non-entry decision and charge the costs to the appellant (consid. 1).

recours contre l'arrêt de la Cour des poursuites
et faillites du Tribunal cantonal du canton de Vaud
du 7 octobre 2008.

Considérant:
qu'un recours au Tribunal fédéral doit être déposé dans le délai (art. 100 al. 1 LTF) et la forme (art. 42 LTF) prévus par la loi;
qu'en l'espèce, le recours a certes été déposé dans le délai légal, mais il ne contient aucune motivation;
que le délai de l'art. 100 al. 1 LTF étant échu et ne pouvant être prolongé (art. 47 al. 1 LTF), il n'y a pas lieu de fixer au recourant, comme il le demande, un délai pour présenter un mémoire complémentaire;
que le recours doit par conséquent être déclaré irrecevable en procédure simplifiée (art. 108 al. 1 LTF), aux frais de son auteur (art. 66 al. 1 LTF);

par ces motifs, le Président prononce:

1.
Le recours est irrecevable.
