United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

YAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

FU,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-04309-HSG 

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Plaintiff-Appellant Demas Yan, proceeding pro se, filed a Notice of Appeal on July 26, 

2019, appealing the Bankruptcy Court’s denial of his motion for a new trial in case number 17-

4056. Dkt. No. 1. On September 30, 2019, the Clerk from the United States Bankruptcy Court 

notified the Court that Yan failed to perfect the appeal pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy 

Rule 8009(a)(4). Dkt. No. 4. It has now been over 140 days since the notification, and Yan has 

provided no explanation for his failure to complete the record on appeal nor taken any observable 

action. Yan further failed to respond to the Court’s order to show cause why the case should not 

be closed in light of case number 4:19-cv-05633-HSG, which also appeals Bankruptcy Court case 

number 17-4056. 

The Court thus DISMISSES the appeal for failure to prosecute. See e.g., Greco v. 

Stubenberg, 859 F.2d 1401, 1403–04 (9th Cir. 1988) (finding an appellant’s failure to take steps 

required to perfect his appeal was grounds for dismissal due to failure to prosecute).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 2/20/2020
