The instant appeal was filed on September 10, 2009 by debtor Kids Connection,

Inc. Thereafter, on December 4, 2009, the bankruptcy court entered an order converting

the debtor’s Chapter 11 case to Chapter 7, and appointed Janina M. Elder as Trustee, who

is now administering the property of the debtor, including the debtor’s interest in the instant

appeal. (See Notice Exs. B, C.)

The Court has reviewed the docket of the instant bankruptcy proceeding, and takes

judicial notice of the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of two orders on May 20, 2010, one titled

Order Authorizing Trustee to Compromise Controversy with Burlingame Capital Partners II

LP, and Certain Individuals, and the other titled Order Authorizing Trustee to Compromise

Controversy with Linda Koelling, which orders presumably were filed shortly after the filing

of the Notice.

Bankruptcy Court Case No. 08-30026 DM

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Before the Court is the Chapter 7 Trustee’s Notice, filed May 20, 2010 in response to

the Court’s order of April 22, 2010, by which order the Court directed appellant to file a

notice setting forth what steps appellant has taken or will take to perfect the record.

In the Notice, Trustee Janina M. Elder1 reports that the parties to the instant appeal

have entered into a compromise. The Trustee also states that the Bankruptcy Court

approved the compromise at a hearing, but, as of the time the Notice was filed, had not

entered a written order or orders approving the compromise.2

In light of the court-approved compromise, which, in the absence of an appeal

therefrom, the Trustee expects will become final shortly, the Trustee requests that this

Court enter an order dismissing the appeal, on the condition that the dismissal may be

vacated for good cause shown within thirty days following the entry of the dismissal.

Accordingly, the instant appeal is hereby DISMISSED, provided that the dismissal

may be vacated upon a showing of good cause made no later than thirty days after the

date of the filing of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 26, 2010
