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

The notice of appeal in the above-numbered action was filed with the district court on

March 24, 2010 (Dkt. No. 1). Under Rules 8006 and 8007 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy

Procedure, appellant Deborah Pimentel — who is a practicing attorney — was required to file

with the bankruptcy court: (1) a designation of the record, (2) statement of issues on appeal, and

(3) a notice regarding the ordering of transcripts. This procedure — called “perfecting the

appeal” — should have been done within 14 days of filing the notice of appeal. It has now been

nearly two months since the notice of appeal was filed, and appellant has still not perfected the

record pursuant to the Bankruptcy Rules. The briefing for this appeal cannot begin until this

procedural step has been completed.

On May 19, 2010, the Court received a report and recommendation from Bankruptcy

Judge Alan Jaroslovsky recommending that appellant’s appeal be dismissed for failing to timely

perfect the record. Appellant is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by NOON ON THURSDAY,

MAY 27, why this bankruptcy appeal should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and for

failure to perfect the record as required by the Bankruptcy Rules and local rules.
