United States Sixth Circuit

In an action arising out of injuries sustained at defendant employer's car company, an appeal from denial of a motion in a district court asking for an extension of time in which "to file any Notice of Appeal" is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction where the motion failed to designate the judgment being appealed and otherwise failed objectively to convey an intent to appeal, and thus, did not satisfy the form or function requirements of Fed. R. App. P. 3(c).
