CIV-F-06-0426 AWI

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Appellant initiated an appeal from an order of the bankruptcy court on April 16, 2006.

Doc. 1. On April 17, 2006, the district court clerk’s office sent out notice that the record on

appeal was incomplete. Doc. 4. There was no response from the parties. On January 12, 2007,

this court issued an Order to Show Cause, directing Appellant to show cause in writing within 20

days why this appeal should not be denied for failure to prosecute. Doc. 6. Appellant has not

responded to the Order. At this point, there is no record on appeal and there has been no contact

from the Appellant since the initial filing of the appeal in April 2006; Appellant appears to have

abandoned the case. “The district court has the inherent power sua sponte to dismiss a case for

lack of prosecution.” Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1423 (9th Cir. 1986), citations

omitted.

Given these circumstances, the appeal is DISMISSED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 16, 2007 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii
