judicial notice of the petition for permission for direct appeal to the Ninth Circuit pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 158(d), filed by debtor Lombard Flats LLC on March 17, 2015, as well as 

appellant’s response to the petition, filed on March 18, 2015. Yan v. Lombard Flats, LLC,

Circuit or of the pendency of debtor’s petition for permission for direct appeal. 

By order entered June 11, 2015, the Ninth Circuit denied debtor’s petition for 

permission for a direct appeal pursuant to § 158(d). Since the time that the Ninth Circuit 

entered the order denying the petition, appellant has not filed a brief in his bankruptcy 

appeal in this court as required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8009 and 8010 and by Bankr. L.R. 

8010-1, and has not sought relief from the scheduling order issued by the court. 

Accordingly, appellant Demas Yan is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing 

why the bankruptcy appeal should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute under Ninth 

Circuit Rule 42-1, which is applicable pursuant to Bankr. L.R. 8007-1(d). Appellant shall 

file a written response to the order to show cause by September 4, 2015. If 

appellant fails to respond in writing to the order to show cause, the above-captioned 

bankruptcy appeal will be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 14, 2015
