In the Matter of: Chris G. BROWN, Debtor. Chris G. Brown, Appellant, v. American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., Appellee.
    No. 07-56698.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 11, 2008.
    
    Filed Aug. 18, 2008.
    Chris G. Brown, Los Angeles, CA, pro se.
    
      Before: CANBY, LEAVY and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

This is an appeal from a dismissal by the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) for failure to prosecute. The BAP granted appellant three extensions of time to file the opening brief; nevertheless appellant failed to file his opening brief.

We review the dismissal of a bankruptcy appeal for failure to prosecute for an abuse of discretion. See In re Hill, 775 F.2d 1385, 1386 (9th Cir.1985).

A review of the record and the response to the court’s order to show cause indicates that the questions raised in this appeal are so insubstantial as not to require further argument because the BAP did not abuse its discretion in dismissing this appeal. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam).

Accordingly, we summarily affirm the Bankruptcy Panel’s judgment.

All pending motions are denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
