Listen to this article

The Court concluded that the absence of a signature on a notice of appeal filed by a pro se appellant does not compel dismissal of the appeal. While a notice of appeal must be signed, ‘if the notice is timely filed and adequate in other respects, jurisdiction will vest in the court of appeals [and] the case may proceed so long as the appellant promptly supplies the signature once the omission is called to his attention.'”

Accordingly, these appeals should not dismissed. Both defendants will be given the opportunity to file a signed notice of appeal within 14 days.

Jurisdiction confirmed.
