I'm working through the deadlines for post-judgment motions. The fee motion is due 14 days after the May 1, 2026 judgment, which lands on Friday, May 15. The Rule-1 motion has a 28-day deadline, putting it on Friday, May 29, and I'm checking whether that date conflicts with any holidays.

For the notice of appeal, 30 days from May 1 falls on Sunday, May 31, so it moves to Monday, June 1.

The planned Rule-1 motion needs to request both the $42,000 prejudgment interest adjustment and alternatively a new trial based on the witness exclusion grounds, and I should file it well before the May 29 deadline—ideally by May 20. For the new appeal deadline triggered by an order entered July 10, 2026, counting 30 days forward puts the deadline on Sunday, August 9, which will shift to Monday.

The key strategy is filing a protective notice of appeal by June 1 as a safeguard—if the Rule-1 motion turns out to be untimely or insufficient, the tolling fails and June 1 becomes the only deadline. Then file a fresh notice after July 10 once the disposition is final. I should also track the separate fee motion appeal notice. Missing the Rule
