FOR THE COURT

April 15, 2026 Date

1 The court notes that the parties dispute the timeli- ness of this appeal: Netflix contends this appeal is untimely because it appears the district court’s clerk’s office received Mr. Wilson Price’s notice of appeal outside the statutory time to appeal, while Mr. Wilson Price argues the appeal is timely because he purports to have emailed a notice of ap- peal to the district court judge’s chambers within that time, to which Netflix responds with out-of-circuit case law indi- cating that such an email is insufficient. Under the cir- cumstances, we deem it the better course to transfer, leaving it to the Ninth Circuit to assess the parties’ argu- ments as to timeliness.
