A quick definition of appearance date:

Appearance date is a specific day when someone has to go to court or show up for a legal matter. It's like a deadline for them to be present and take care of their legal business. There are many different types of days related to the law, like court days, business days, and natural days. Each one has a different meaning and purpose.

A more thorough explanation:

Appearance date refers to the day on which a defendant must appear in court or file a responsive pleading in a lawsuit. It is a specific time period that is distinguished from other periods.

For example, the answer day is the last day for a defendant to file and serve a responsive pleading in a lawsuit. Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a defendant generally must serve an answer within 20 days after being served with the summons and complaint, or within 60 days after the request for waiver was sent if a defendant timely waives service at the plaintiff's request.

Another example is the return day, which is a day on which a defendant must appear in court (as for an arraignment), file an answer, or return a proof of service or writ of execution to court.

These examples illustrate how appearance date is a specific time period that is important in legal proceedings and must be adhered to by defendants.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
