                        UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                         FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
                                                 Case No. 1:21-cr-00061-LEW
v.

NATHAN REARDON


                               RESPONSE TO ORDER

       The Government responds to this Court’s Order (Dkt. #225) and Defendant

Nathan Reardon’s Motion to Extend Time to Appeal (Dkt. #224) to confirm that it has

no objection to Defendant’s health-related bases for enlarging the time for his filing of

the notice of appeal. Criminal defendants have “a maximum of forty[-four] days” to file a

timely notice of appeal,” such that “[c]ourts cannot extend the time period beyond the

forty[-four]-day time period prescribed by [Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure] 4(b).”

United States v. Rapoport, 159 F.3d 1, 2-3 (1st Cir. 1998). Here, although a period

exceeding 44 days has now elapsed, Defendant did file his notice of appeal within the

44-day period. Accordingly, and given the First Circuit’s Order (Dkt. #223), it appears

that this Court may recognize Defendant’s notice of appeal to the extent it finds

excusable neglect or good cause. Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4).

Dated: January 2, 2025                           Respectfully submitted
