ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before SEYMOUR, KELLY, and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges. 

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the 

doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court 

generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order 

and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3. 

Appellate Case: 04-4243 Document: 010110615328 Date Filed: 04/28/2005 Page: 1
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined 

unanimously that oral argument would not materiaily assist the determination 

of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1 (G). The case is 

therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 

In this matter, Ms. Holli Lundahl appeals from the district court's order 

denying her request to withdraw a bankruptcy reference. She also argues that the 

district court's order, which effectively approved the bankruptcy court's remand 

of the underlying adversary proceeding back to state court, was improper. 

As an initial proposition, we note, as we did in the Order & Judgment filed 

in appeal number 04-4236 this same day, that Ms. Lundahl 's bankruptcy case was 

dismissed on December 23, 2003. The bankruptcy court then remanded or 

dismissed all related adversary proceedings, including the one underlying this 

appeal. That remand order entered on December 29, 2003. The motion to 

withdraw the bankruptcy reference was filed on January 13, 2004, some two 

weeks after the remand order entered. It was docketed on January 28, 2004. 

Although relying on several grounds to reject the motion to withdraw the 

reference, the district court initially noted that it was moot in light of the 

dismissal of the underlying bankruptcy case. We review that determination de 

nova. Faustin v. Cit_v & County of Denver, 268 F.3d 942,947 (10th Cir. 2001). 

On this record, it is clear the district court's determination was correct. As there

was no longer a bankruptcy matter pending at the time the motion to withdraw the 

reference was filed, the issue was moot. 

Moreover, we will not consider Ms. Lundahl's claims that the bankruptcy 

court's remand order was suspect. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1452(b), the remand 

order is not reviewable. See Hawking v. Ford Motor Credit Co., 210 F.3d 540, 

550 (5th Cir. 2000); In re United States Brass Corp., 110 F.3d 1261, 1265-66 (7th 

Cir. 1997); In re Cathedral of the Incarnation In the Diocese of Long Island, 

90 F.3d 28, 31-32 (2d Cir. 1996). 

As we have noted previously, Ms. Lundahl' s arguments border on specious. 

Her description of the record is inaccurate, at best. We warn her that this pattern 

of vexatious litigation may warrant the imposition of sanctions or other 

restrictions. See Winslow v. Hunter (In re Winslow), 17 F.3d 314, 315-16 (10th 

Cir. 1994). 

Ms. Lundahl' s request to proceed in form a pauperis is denied, and this 

matter is DISMISSED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
