Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Brian J. Fournier v. Flats Industrial, Inc.

July 25, 2023298 A.3d 810

Summary

The court dismissed Fournier’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction because it was filed more than twenty-one days after the docketing of a stipulated dismissal that resolved the sole remaining claim. The stipulated dismissal created an appealable final judgment when docketed, and the pending motion for a protective order neither conditioned the dismissal nor tolled the appeal period. The court therefore did not reach the merits of Fournier’s claims.
