Calderon Lopez v. State of California
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Holding
The Federal Circuit dismissed the appeal as clearly untimely and frivolous, noting it is identical to a prior appeal the court already dismissed as untimely. Each party bears its own costs.
Why It Matters
This order is a routine dismissal of a duplicative, untimely pro se appeal and carries no substantive patent law significance; it is noted here only for docket completeness.
