I'm grading papers, so I'm not watching along, but I got to intro Dog Day Afternoon & lead a post-screening Q&A at my local library several years ago and it was pretty awesome watching & discussing with a crowd that mostly hadn't seen it before.

So we are currently at multiple threatened military operations, attorneys being rejected for improper appointments, suburbanites chasing the armed agents of the state cursing their names, a two vote margin in the house, and consumer sentiment worse than 2008/2009. It’s been less than a year.

Not only is this just basic bitch fascism coming out of this dipshit’s mouth, but it highlights, in a time of crisis when it comes to air traffic controllers, just how fucking useless and unqualified Sean Duffy is.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

UPDATE: Another judge just dinged DOJ in another trans care subpoena case, with Judge Joun finding that DOJ missed a deadline, and, accordingly, their motion to alter the judgment in the Boston Children's Hospital case was "untimely." And, because DOJ also appealed, Joun has no further jurisdiction.
![Judge Myong J. Joun: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 35
Motion to Alter Judgment.
On September 9, 2025, I entered an order granting Boston Children Hospital's ("BCH") Motion to Quash. [Doc. No. 33 4 1. On October 7, 2025, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed a Motion to Alter (the "Motion"). [Doc. No. 35 A]. On November 7, 2025, the DOJ filed a Notice of Appeal of my September 9 Order. [Doc. No. 46 4 ]. That appeal has been assigned USCA Case Number 25-2092.
[Doc. No. 48 ]. The parties have completed briefing of the merits of the Motion, however, after DOJ filed its Notice of Appeal, BCH filed a Notice indicating that this court no longer has jurisdiction to decide the Motion. [See Doc. No. 50
"The filing of a notice of appeal is an event of jurisdictional significance — it confers jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests the district court of its control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal." Griggs v. Provident Consumer Disc. Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982). However, "in order to prevent unnecessary appellate review, the district court was given express authority to entertain a timely motion to alter or amend the judgment under Rule 59, even after a notice of appeal had been filed." Id.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreifq6fozblxq5uz7vczjqf7rlnysombau2eo65u4s4yizeim57t5xm@jpeg)
![As such, Rule 4(A)(iv) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that "[ilf a party files in the district court" a motion "to alter or amend the judgment under Rule 59" and
"does so within the time allowed by those rules--the time to file an appeal runs for all parties from the entry of the order disposing of the last such remaining motion." Fed. Rule App. Proc. 4(A)(iv). Rule 59(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that "[a] motion to alter or amend a judgment must be filed no later than 28 days after the entry of the judgment." Here, DOJ filed the Motion around
10:30 P.M. on October 7, 2025, or the 28th day following the entry of the judgment on September 9. However, an electronic filing made on the last day is timely if filed by midnight in the court's time zone, "[unless a different time is set by a... local rule." Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(4). Our district's local rules state that, "[a]ll electronic transmissions of documents must be completed prior to 6:00 p.m. to be considered timely filed that day." L.R. 5.4(d). Accordingly, to have timely filed a Motion to Alter in this district, DOJ was required to file its Motion by 6:00 P.M. on October 7, 2025, but did not do so until about 10:30 P.M. [Doc. No. 44 4 at 4]. Contrary to DOJ's suggestion that our local rules may not apply to a "miscellaneous proceeding to quash an administrative subpoena," [Doc. No. 44 A n.2], the local rules clarify that they "apply to all proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts." L.R. 1.2(a). As such, the Motion is untimely. See, e.g., Sneade v. Rojas, 11-cv-40061, 2014 WL 949635, at *2 n.2 (D. Mass. Mar. 10, 2014) ("[T]he motion to impound was filed after the 6:00 p.m. deadline and therefore, is deemed filed the next business day, i.e., it was untimely");
Romero v. McCormick & Schmick Rest. Corp., No. 18-cv-10324, 2020 WL 1430530, at *1 (D. Mass. Mar. 24, 2020) ....](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiajuyjmijndvebfdxnxd6vcregnwlvrlab7vfohli53ul44n7hm4q@jpeg)
!["District courts enjoy broad latitude in administering local rules." Air Line Pilots Ass'n v. Precision Valley Aviation, Inc., 26 F.3d 220, 224 (1st Cir. 1994). DOJ asks that I exercise such discretion here to find that the four-hour delay be deemed timely because BCH does not identify any prejudice from the late filing, and other courts in this district have excused similar delays. See, e.g., Soo v. Bone Biologics Corp., No. 19-cv-11520, 2021 WL 1391458, at *4 (D. Mass. Apr. 13, 2021) (excusing four-hour delay in filing an amended complaint and citing cases). However, DOJ has not pointed to any case finding such a motion timely where a subsequent notice of appeal has also been filed, divesting the court of its jurisdiction. "To deviate from a local rule, the district court (1) must have a sound reason for doing so, and (2) must ensure that no party's substantial rights are unfairly jeopardized." Belanger v. BNY Mellon Asset Mgmt., LLC, No. 15-cv-10198, 2017 WL 1160570, at *6 (D. Mass. Mar. 28, 2017) (cleaned up).
DOJ has not provided any "sound reason" for its late filing or for deviating from the local rules.
Carpenter v. Rivera, 10-cv-40233, 2014 WL 4928963, at *2 n.2 (D. Mass. Sept. 30, 2014)
("Accordingly, even if the Court had the power to extend the deadline, I would not find that Plaintiff has established cause for doing so."). Because the Motion was untimely and the notice of appeal has not been tolled, jurisdiction is now vested with the First Circuit Court of Appeals. As such, I do not have jurisdiction to rule on the merits of the Motion to Alter. See Malek v. Feigenbaum, 116 F.4th 118, 127-128 (2d Cir. 2024) (finding appeal untimely where Rule 59(e) motion was filed late and did not toll the deadline for appeal). The Motion to Alter, [Doc. No. 35 4 ], is thus DENIED.

Udo Kier brought something interesting to every project he participated in - whether a Paul Morrisey erotic horror flick, a Herzog or von Trier project, a mainstream Hollywood release, or even his brief appearance in DRACULA 3000.
