United States  v.  Indrelunas

Petition for Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

No. 72-805.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: April 16, 1973

The provision in Fed. Rule. Civ. Proc. 58, that "[e]very judgment" of a district court "shall be set forth on a separate document" which, inter alia, starts the time limits for appeals and post-trial motions running, is a mechanical provision that must be mechanically applied to render certain the date on which a judgment is entered.

Certiorari granted; 465 F.2d 163, reversed and remanded.
