IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IN RE DEBORAH PIMENTEL,

Appellant.

 /

No. C 10-01237 WHA

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This is the second order to show cause filed in this bankruptcy appeal. The first was filed

on May 20, 2010, after appellant Deborah Pimentel — who is representing herself in this matter

but is also a licensed and practicing California attorney — failed to timely perfect the record as

required by Bankruptcy Rule 8006 (Dkt. No. 5). Indeed, Attorney Pimentel filed nothing for

almost two months after the instant appeal was noticed, prompting the undersigned to take action.

In response to the first order to show cause, Attorney Pimentel provided a number of

reasons why she had not perfected the record in a timely manner (Dkt. No. 6). After giving fair

consideration to these reasons, the undersigned allowed Attorney Pimentel a generous three

additional weeks to perfect the record on her appeal and comply with the procedural requirements

of Bankruptcy Rule 8006 (Dkt. No. 7). This three-week extension translated to a June 18

deadline. Attorney Pimentel was also expressly warned that “if the record on appeal was not

perfected by June 18, the matter would be dismissed.”

It is now Monday, June 21. As of the date of this order, the record on appeal has still not

been perfected. Due to Attorney Pimentel’s continued failure to comply with procedural and
