UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,
v.
JOSEPH KOLEK, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT

9th Cir. | 1984-03-23
No. 84-5072
728 F.2d 1280 United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1984) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court

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).
