U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2101. Supreme Court; time for appeal or certiorari; docketing; stay
(a) A direct appeal to the Supreme Court from any decision under
section 1253 of this title, holding unconstitutional in whole or in
part, any Act of Congress, shall be taken within thirty days after
the entry of the interlocutory or final order, judgment or decree.
The record shall be made up and the case docketed within sixty days
from the time such appeal is taken under rules prescribed by the
Supreme Court.
(b) Any other direct appeal to the Supreme Court which is
authorized by law, from a decision of a district court in any civil
action, suit or proceeding, shall be taken within thirty days from
the judgment, order or decree, appealed from, if interlocutory, and
within sixty days if final.
(c) Any other appeal or any writ of certiorari intended to bring
any judgment or decree in a civil action, suit or proceeding before
the Supreme Court for review shall be taken or applied for within
ninety days after the entry of such judgment or decree. A justice
of the Supreme Court, for good cause shown, may extend the time for
applying for a writ of certiorari for a period not exceeding sixty
days.
(d) The time for appeal or application for a writ of certiorari
to review the judgment of a State court in a criminal case shall be
as prescribed by rules of the Supreme Court.
(e) An application to the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari
to review a case before judgment has been rendered in the court of
appeals may be made at any time before judgment.
(f) In any case in which the final judgment or decree of any
court is subject to review by the Supreme Court on writ of
certiorari, the execution and enforcement of such judgment or
decree may be stayed for a reasonable time to enable the party
aggrieved to obtain a writ of certiorari from the Supreme Court.
The stay may be granted by a judge of the court rendering the
judgment or decree or by a justice of the Supreme Court, and may be
conditioned on the giving of security, approved by such judge or
justice, that if the aggrieved party fails to make application for
such writ within the period allotted therefor, or fails to obtain
an order granting his application, or fails to make his plea good
in the Supreme Court, he shall answer for all damages and costs
which the other party may sustain by reason of the stay.
(g) The time for application for a writ of certiorari to review a
decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
shall be as prescribed by rules of the Supreme Court.
