Today I filed the notice of appeal, and served the office of US attorny for our distirct. I have further ordered the MTD hearing transcript. Now I am waiting for my case to be docketed so that I provide AILF with my appeal case number.
Now it is time for lazcis to give me my next reading assignment and the things I should get prepared for in the next phase.
Also thanks to lazycis, lenaf, ok-boy and AGC4ME for their kind words of encouragement.
Good job, you weren't slow by any means
Read rules 3,4,10,11,12,30. Prepare and fax appearance form

serve it to AUSA
After you get your case #, prepare and fax this form to the clerk and to the mediation office (see form)
http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/internet/forms/case_opening/civil_appeal.pdf
serve it to AUSA.
You can start working on your brief and prepare motion to expedite appeal, if you want.
My prayers are with you!
