PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents the question of whether the District Court had jurisdiction to strike the notice of appeal of the United States in a tax case on the ground that it was not properly authorized. The notice was filed by the United States Attorney, who was one of the attorneys of record, at the direction of an attorney in the Tax Division of the Department of Justice who claims that he had been delegated the power to authorize such filings. The District Court struck the notice of appeal on the ground that at the time of its filing the Solicitor General had not authorized an appeal.
The action of the District Court which gives rise to this appeal occurred in post-trial proceedings in a civil tax refund suit. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the taxpayer on August 2, 1967. A judgment was rendered directing a refund of income taxes plus interest. On September 14, 1967, the United States moved for a new trial and requested that the hearing on its motion be deferred until not less than 30 days after it received a copy of the transcript of the trial proceedings. On November 15, 1967, the District Court conducted a hearing on the motion for a new trial and overruled it, rejecting the Government's request that the hearing be postponed until a transcript of the trial proceedings became available.
A timely notice of appeal in proper form was filed on behalf of the United States on January 8, 1968. It is this notice of appeal, filed pursuant to Rule 73 on the Fed.R.Civ.P.,1 which is the center of controversy on the present appeal.
A motion was made in the District Court for an extension of time for filing the record and docketing the appeal in this Court, on the ground that the trial transcript was not available from the court reporter and that, due to a backlog, the court reporter would not be able to...
