ORDER

On	January	9,	2014,	Appellees	filed	a	motion	requesting	this	Court	to	direct	

the	bankruptcy	court	clerk	to	pay	over	the	supersedeas	bond	posted	by	the	

Appellant	in	bankruptcy	court when	Mantiply	filed	the	first	of	two	appeals.	 (Doc.	

56.)		Appellant	filed	an	objection	to	the	motion.	(Doc.	57.) This	Court	does	not	

instruct	the	bankruptcy	court	clerk as	to	payment	of	funds	held	in	the	bankruptcy	

court’s	registry.		That	is	the	function	of	the	bankruptcy	court.1 		Accordingly,	the	

motion	is	DENIED.		

DONE and	ORDERED this	the	8th day	of	April,	2014.

s/Charles	R.	Butler,	Jr.	

Senior	United	States	District	Judge

																																																							 1 Even	this	Clerk	were	inclined	to	issue	direct	orders	to	the	bankruptcy	clerk,	

it	would	not	be	appropriate	here. Appellee’s	motion	is	premised	on	the	mistaken	

belief	that	final	judgment	had	been	entered	with	respect	to	the	first	appeal.			It	had	

not.		The	Court’s	opinion	had	been	entered,	but	the	rules	require	a	separate	

judgment.		See	Fed.	R.	Bankr.	R.	8016(a)	(clerk	of	court	for	district	court	or	

Bankruptcy	Appellate	Panel	prepares	and	signs	judgment).
