U.S. Supreme Court
Lemke v. United States, 346 U.S. 325 (1953)
Lemke v. United States
No. 109
Decided October 12, 1953
346 U.S. 325
Syllabus
Petitioner was convicted of a crime and sentenced to imprisonment. He filed his notice of appeal the next day, but judgment was not entered until several days later.
Held: though Rule 37(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provides that such appeals may be taken "within 10 days after entry of the judgment," the irregularity in noting the appeal prematurely should have been disregarded under Rule 52(a), as it did not "affect substantial rights," and the appeal should not have been dismissed. Pp. 346 U. S. 325-326.
203 F.2d 406 reversed.
