v.

ORDER FOR CONSOLIDATED 

INDYMAC FEDERAL BANK FSB; QUALITY BRIEFING

LOAN SERVICE CORP.,

Defendants/Appellants.

____________________________________/

Under separate order today, the court related the above two bankruptcy

appeals because they involve an appeal of related orders issued by the bankruptcy court

on October 2, 2009, and December 10, 2009, in the above adversary proceeding. 

Previously, on October 20, 2009, and December 28, 2009, the clerk’s office of this

court issued notices and scheduling orders in C 09-4993 PJH and C 09-6031 PJH,

respectively. According to those notices, the briefing schedules on appeal are triggered by

this court’s receipt of the records on appeal. In the most recent appeal, C 09-6031 PJH,

the parties are still perfecting the record. However, based on the court’s review of the

bankruptcy court’s docket in adversary case 09-4045, it appears that the record has

already been perfected in C 09-4993 PJH, and that this court’s clerk’s office should have

received the record already. That is not the case, though. Accordingly, if the record has

indeed been perfected in C 09-4993 PJH as it appears, the clerk of the bankruptcy court

should transmit it to this court. If there is a problem with the record, the clerk of the

bankruptcy court should notify this court regarding the nature of the problem.

Because the parties and the issues are overlapping, once the records in both

appeals, C 09-4993 PJH and C 09-6031 PJH, are received, briefing in both cases is hereby

consolidated. After the record in C 09-6031 PJH, the later-filed appeal, is entered on the

court’s docket, appellant must file and serve one brief not exceeding 25 pages in length no

later than 28 days after the record has been entered. Appellee must file and serve one

opposition brief not exceeding 25 pages in length within twenty days of service of

appellant’s brief. The appellant must file and serve one reply brief not exceeding 15 pages

in length within ten days of service of appellees’ brief. The matter will be decided on the

papers. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 8, 2010
