Westlaw Citation Scarpa V. Murphy, Et Al.

"Good cause" for late filing. Rule permitting extension of appeal period in case of "good cause," F.R.A.P. Rule 4(a)(5), 28 U.S.C.A., applies both before and after expiration of appeal time. Extension of time for filing notice of appeal was warranted following post office's late delivery of notice of appeal, despite appellant's omission of street number from address of court to which notice was sent, where there was no reason to believe, due to post office's proximity to courthouse, that delivery would be delayed.
