Issue:(1) Whether a federal court of appeals may exercise jurisdiction when a notice of appeal does not identify correctly the order to be reviewed, but the briefs resolve any potential confusion; (2) whether a federal court of appeals may exercise jurisdiction when an error in the designation of the order to be reviewed neither prejudices nor misleads the appellee; and (3) whether the more lenient standard ofFoman v. Davisor the more stringent standard ofTorres v. Oakland Scavenger Co.determines if appellate jurisdiction is defeated by an error in the designation of the order to be reviewed.
