purposes of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a); and

2. Even if the "Courtroom Minutes – Civil" are
deemed an Order, whether the docket entry of this
document as a "Minute Entry" constitutes entry of an

docket of an 'order'…shall constitute the entry of this
order," and therefore triggers the time to appeal.
