this appeal. ECF 5.

Accordingly, the Court clarifies the briefing schedule. This order supersedes all prior 

scheduling orders. Pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8016, 8018, and B.L.R. 8018-1, the “appellant 

must serve and file a brief [not exceeding 25 pages in length]1 within 30 days after the docketing 

of notice that the record has been transmitted or is available electronically.” See also Fed. R. 

Bankr. P. 8018(a)(1). The appellee must serve and file a brief not exceeding 25 pages in length

within 30 days after service of the appellant’s brief. Id. at 8018(a)(2). The appellant may serve
