Charmaine Hamer v. Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago

Summary

The Supreme Court held that a time limit for filing a notice of appeal set by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5)(C) is not jurisdictional but a mandatory claim‑processing rule, and therefore the Seventh Circuit erred in dismissing Hamer’s appeal as untimely. The Court vacated the appellate court’s judgment and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this interpretation.
