No. 2:13-cv-01032-TLN

ORDER

This case was originally brought before this Court on May 24, 2013. (See Notice of 

Bankruptcy Appeal, ECF No. 1.) On August 20, 2014, the Deputy Clerk of the U.S. Bankruptcy 

Court of the Eastern District of California certified that the record with respect to Appellants 

James Kincaid and Estella Kincaid (“Appellants”) was complete for purposes of this appeal. 

(ECF No. 17.) Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8009, Appellants’ opening 

brief and excerpts of record were due, filed in the district court, within fourteen (14) days of the 

certification. (ECF No. 17.) On September 5, 2014, Appellants filed a motion for a fourteen 

(14) week extension to file their opening brief. (ECF No. 18.) The Court granted this request, 

but warned Appellants that the Court would not grant any further extension. (See Minute Order, 

ECF No. 19.) Hence, Appellants’ opening brief is due on December 10, 2014.

extension. (ECF No. 20.) The Court has reviewed the application as well as the memorandum of 

points and authorities in support of the application. Appellants have failed to show good cause 

for another extension, especially in light of the Court’s previous admonishment. Accordingly, 

Appellants’ request for an extension (ECF No. 20) is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
