Plaintiffs Frank Corsini and related entities filed a Notice of Appeal (Entry #70) on October 23, 2025, appealing the Court's Order on Motion to Dismiss (#67) and subsequent Clerk's Judgment (#68) that dismissed their case with prejudice in favor of Dentons and Boies Schiller. This triggers a 14-day deadline for Forms C and D to be filed with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, making them due by November 6, 2025. No immediate action is required before 9 AM as Dentons is the appellee, but monitoring for the appellate briefing schedule and potential settlement discussions may be warranted.

Entry #68: Clerk's Judgment entered 9/30/25 (filed 10/2/25) granting motions to dismiss for both Dentons and Boies Schiller, dismissing complaint with prejudice
Forms C and D due to Second Circuit within 14 days of appeal filing (by 11/6/25)
$605 filing fee paid, Second Circuit case now active
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE DID
Opposing counsel (Batista) initially filed a defective Notice of Appeal on 10/21/25 but quickly corrected it within 48 hours, suggesting either inexperience with appellate procedure or rushed filing to meet the 30-day deadline
The appeal was filed relatively close to the deadline (23 days after the 9/30/25 order), indicating possible internal deliberation about whether to pursue the appeal or difficulty securing appellate counsel
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
Case transitions from complete victory at district court level to active appellate litigation, requiring coordination with appellate counsel and potential fee shifting considerations given the with-prejudice dismissal
Monitor for any attempts by appellants to seek stays or expedited briefing schedules that could compress response timelines
