United States v. Joseph Kolek

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Joseph Kolek, 728 F.2d 1280 (9th Cir. 1984)
1984 U.S. App. LEXIS 24247

United States v. Joseph Kolek

Opinion

ORDER

Despite defendant’s assertion to the contrary, our jurisdiction over prejudgment bail matters is appellate, not original. See 18 U.S.C. § 3147(b); Fed.R.App.P. 9(a). That jurisdiction is invoked by the filing of a notice of appeal filed within 10 days of the date of entry of the district court’s bail order. See Fed.R.App.P. 4(b).

Consequently, we lack jurisdiction over defendant’s request for a reduction of bail pending trial. We therefore remand this appeal to the district court to afford defendant an opportunity to demonstrate excusable neglect for his failure to file a timely notice of appeal. See id.; United States v. Stolarz, 547 F.2d 108, 111 (9th Cir. 1976).
