6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[I]t is here obvious that plaintiffs relied to their detriment upon the district court’s statements and action. That is, by granting an extension and then accepting the Rule 59(e) motion, the district court led plaintiffs to believe that those actions were properly done. As a consequence, plaintiffs permitted the thirty-day appeal period to expire ... without filing their notice of appeal. In these “unique circumstances,” it would now work a great hardship on plaintiffs to dismiss the appeal as untimely. Thompson v. Immigration & Naturalization Service, 375 U.S. 384 , 84 S.Ct. 397 , 11 L.Ed.2d 404 (1964). The court is of the opinion that to do so would not be in the best interests of justice.”
