IN RE

ALEXIS MAGER LAKUSTA, 

Debtor.

 /

No. C 07-0227 SBA

ORDER

Debtor Alexis Mager Lakusta commenced the instant bankruptcy appeal pro se in this Court on

December 28, 2006. Lakusta appeals the Bankruptcy Court’s December 15, 2006 dismissal of his Chapter

7 action with prejudice. Lakusta’s opening brief was originally due on July 2, 2007. After unsuccessfully

requesting that the Court extend the time for Lakusta to file his opening brief, on July 5, 2007, and again

on July 10, 2007, the Court ordered Lakusta to file an opening brief by July 16, 2007, or be prepared to

show cause why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Docket Nos. 21 & 22.

On July 16, 2007, Lakusta filed a three-paragraph1

 “opening brief” which provides a five-sentence

“argument” explaining Lakusta’s grounds for appeal. Docket No 23. Lakusta’s sole legal argument is

contained in the following sentence: “Appellant will show with case law that the dismissal is not valid

under federal law.” Id. Lakusta states in the final sentence of his filing that “[a]ll further discussion and

appellant’s legal arguments will be presented in the amended opening brief.”

Lakusta was not granted leave to file an amended brief, and, in any case, has not filed one.

Needless to say, Lakusta’s filing fails to provide any grounds for the Court to disturb the Bankruptcy

Court’s order. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the Bankruptcy Court is

AFFIRMED. The Clerk shall close the file and terminate any pending matters.
