UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OAKLAND DIVISION 

IN RE 600 ALABAMA Case No: C 09-4672 SBA 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE 

DISMISSAL

 On October 1, 2009, Appellants Lilly Chiang and John Sullivan filed a notice of appeal 

from a ruling of the bankruptcy court. Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8006 requires an 

appellant to file with the bankruptcy court clerk and serve on the appellee a designation of the 

items to be included in the record on appeal and a statement of the issues to be presented within 

ten days after filing the notice of appeal. Upon perfection and entry of the record on the 

District Court’s docket, the appellant has twenty-eight days to file his opening brief. (Docket 

2.) Although more than eight months have lapsed since Appellants Chiang and Sullivan 

initiated this appeal, they have not filed an opening brief nor is there any indication that they 

have perfected the record for appeal. Accordingly, 

 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Appellants shall show cause in writing why the 

instant appeal should not be dismissed under Rule 41(b) for failure to prosecute. By no later 

than June 30, 2010, Appellants shall file a memorandum explaining why the appeal should not 

be dismissed. The memorandum, which shall be entitled, “Response to Order to Show Cause,” 

shall set forth the nature of the cause, its present status, the reason it has not been brought to 

trial or otherwise terminated, any basis for opposing dismissal and its expected course if not 

dismissed. FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER WILL BE DEEMED 

SUFFICIENT GROUNDS TO DISMISS THE ACTION, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: June 25, 2010 _______________________________
