384 F.3d 838

Edith A. CULBERTSON, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
CHAROSA FOUNDATION CORPORATION, et al., Defendants-Appellees.
Docket No. 04-2077-CV.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

September 24, 2004.

Present: JACOBS, POOLER, and SOTOMAYOR, Circuit Judges.

Appellee Charosa Foundation moves to dismiss Appellant's appeal as untimely and Appellant, pro se, moves for appointment of counsel. Upon due consideration, it is ORDERED that the motion to dismiss is denied because the notice of appeal was filed within 30 days of entry of the February 26, 2004 order. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(4)(A); United States ex rel. McAllan v. City of New York, 248 F.3d 48, 52 (2d Cir.2001)(per curiam). Furthermore, it is ORDERED that the judgment of the district court is VACATED and the case is REMANDED because the district court relied on summary judgment cases, rather than cases pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12, to dismiss the complaint, and, in any event, all the cases the district court relied upon pre-date the Supreme Court's opinion in Swierkiewicz v. Sorema, 534 U.S. 506, 511-514, 122 S.Ct. 992, 152 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002). The motion for appointment of counsel is denied as moot.
