The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Yeomans, 110 F.3d 72 (9th Cir. 1997):
1 The district court filed a minute order denying Yeomans's motion to reconsider on April 18, 1996. Yeomans mailed his notice of appeal on April 25, 1996. Nevertheless, the notice of appeal was not filed until April 29, 1996, one day after the deadline. Because Yeomans's certificate of service states that he deposited his appeal in the United States mail on April 25, 1996, we deem his appeal timely file pursuant to Koch v. Ricketts, 68 F.3d 1191, 1192-93 (9th Cir.1995).
