Don H. Weaver v. State of Texas
Don H. WEAVER, Petitioner-Appellant, v. STATE OF TEXAS Et Al., Respondents-Appellees
Opinion
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING PER CURIAM:
On petition for rehearing Weaver asserts that his appeal was timely taken and should not have been dismissed. While the docket entry shows that his notice of appeal was filed on June 1, 1972, and that the order denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus was entered on February 29, 1972, Weaver points to the notarization of the notice of appeal as having been executed on March 28, 1972, and alleges that it was mailed on that date so that it should have been received by the Clerk of the district court on March 29, 1972.
In these circumstances the petition for rehearing is granted, the case is remanded to correct the record or to permit *1315 Weaver within thirty days to request the district court to extend the time for appeal (under Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a)) on showing excusable neglect. Pending the outcome, we will retain jurisdiction. James Bryant v. Marion J. Elliott, 5 Cir. 1972, 467 F.2d 1109 [1972].
