Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christopher E. Longstreth, pro se.

M. Denise Graham, Asst. Dist. Atty., Tulsa, Okl., for defendants-appellees.

Before McKAY, Chief Judge, SEYMOUR and EBEL, Circuit Judges.


EBEL, Circuit Judge.

This appeal raises two issues: First, should a motion to extend the time in which to file a notice of appeal be considered a substantial equivalent of a notice of appeal? Second, should a motion to enlarge the time in which to file a motion for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59 be considered a substantial equivalent of a Rule 59 motion? We answer both of these questions in the negative.1
