Pedro, "Does the 30 days to file any appeal start on the date filed (29th) or the date of the hearing (6th)?"

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure governs. The date of the entry of the actual order (12/29/10) is the usual starting point.

NOTE: Rule 4(a)(1) [time for filing notice of appeal]; Rule 4(a)(2) [filing notice before entry of judgment or order]; and, Rule 4(a)(4) [certain post-judgment motions stay time to file].

Happy New Year everyone! ... eom
