Judge(s): THAPAR, READLER, and HERMANDORFER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Youngstown

THAPAR, Circuit Judge. A set of objectors to a class-action settlement are over eight months late in paying an $850,000 appeal bond. Instead of paying up, they moved to extend the time to appeal the bond order—one day late. Because they’re a day late, we can’t hear their reasons for being $850,000 short. We dismiss their appeal of the motion to extend for lack of jurisdiction, and we dismiss their appeals of the settlement for failure to pay the bond.
