IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARRELL D. FOLEY,

Appellant,

 v.

LOIS BRADY, et al.

Appellees.

 /

No. C 04-03576 JSW

ORDER DISMISSING WITHOUT

PREJUDICE BANKRUPTCY

APPEAL

On August 25, 2004, Appellant Darrell D. Foley (“Foley”) filed a notice of bankruptcy

appeal. On December 14, 2004, Foley filed a motion to stay these proceedings. On January 24,

2005, Foley filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

On January 27, 2005, Judge Armstrong denied Foley’s motion for leave to proceed in

forma pauperis and denied without prejudice as moot the motion to stay. Judge Armstrong’s

Order required Foley to “pay the filing fee for his appeal within 30 days of the filing of this

Order.” (Docket 12, Order at 3.) Foley also was admonished that failure to pay the filing fee

“will result in dismissal of Appellant’s appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) without

further notice to” him. (Id.) 

On February 16, 2005 and March 14, 2005, respectively, Foley filed notices of appeal of

Judge Armstrong’s Order appealing that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the

Ninth Circuit. (See Docket Nos. 13, 17.)

On May 6, 2005, the Ninth Circuit dismissed the appeal filed on March 14, 2005 for lack

of jurisdiction. (Docket No. 19.) On June 6, 2005, the Ninth Circuit dismissed the appeal filed

on February 16, 2005, for failing to perfect the appeal. (Docket No. 21.)

Although his appeals of Judge Armstrong’s Order were resolved over six months ago,

Foley has not complied with Judge Armstrong’s Order requiring him to pay the filing fee in this

case to perfect his appeal of the Bankruptcy Court decision, nor does it appear Foley has taken

other necessary steps to perfect the appeal. Accordingly, the Court HEREBY DISMISSES

WITHOUT PREJUDICE this matter for failure to perfect the appeal. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 9, 2006
