The rule gives the district court discretion to grant extensions for good cause whenever the court believes it appropriate to do so provided that the extended period does not exceed 30 days after the expiration of the time otherwise prescribed by Rule 4 ( b ) . The new requirement takes the analysis one step further and assumes that if a judge owns stock in a publicly held corporation which in turn owns 10 % or more of the stock in the party , the judge may have sufficient interest in the litigation to require recusal . No good reason appears for a difference between the civil and criminal rule in this regard , and subdivision ( d ) limits the power of the district court to extend the time for transmitting the record in all cases to 90 days from the date of filing the notice of appeal , just as its power is now limited with respect to docketing and filing in civil cases . Subdivision ( a ) of this rule provides that the record is to be transmitted within the 40-day period , or any extension thereof ; subdivision ( b ) provides that transmission is effected when the clerk of the district court mails or otherwise forwards the record to the clerk of the court of appeals ; Rule 12 ( b ) directs the clerk of the court of appeals to file the record upon its receipt following timely docketing and transmittal . The amendment deletes the requirement that a corporate party identify subsidiaries and affiliates that have issued shares to the public . The proposed amendment takes the docketing out of the hands of the appellant .
