Catolico v. Nicholson
Docket: No. 06-7028
Court: Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; March 26, 2006; Federal Appellate Court
On December 16, 2005, the court issued an order requiring Lourdes T. Católico to show cause within 21 days why the appeal should not be dismissed for lack of timeliness. Católico requested an extension to secure counsel and respond, which was granted until March 2, 2006. Católico did not comply with the court's orders. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal and ordered that each party bear its own costs.
