OPINION
DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from the denial of a motion to reconsider the denial of a federal prison inmate’s petition for a writ of error coram nobis. The petitioner filed a notice of appeal 18 days after the denial of his motion. The threshold question — a question of first impression in this circuit — is whether the appeal is to be treated as a civil appeal under Fed.R.App.P. 4(a), subject to a 60-day appeal period because the United States is a party, or as a criminal appeal under Fed.RApp.P. 4(b), subject to a 10-day appeal period.
Like the majority of courts…
