   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1358
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and
   Gritzner, District Judge]
   Civil case - Appellate Procedure. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
   6(b)(2) and 50(b) are non-jurisdictional claims processing rules that
   provide an affirmative defense to untimely filings if raised, but which can
   be forfeited if not timely raised; here plaintiff raised the timeliness issue
   before the district court ruled on the motion, so the defense was timely
   raised; as a result, the district court did not err in dismissing the Rule
   50(b) motion for lack of jurisdiction; because the motion did not toll the
   time for filing a notice of appeal, the notice of appeal filed in the case
   was untimely; the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
