No. C-08-03563 RMW

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

[Re Docket Nos. 16, 17]

On January 21, 2009, the court granted debtor Corrina Curiel Lona's motion for an extension

of time to file her opening appellate brief. The court set a deadline of February 6, 2009. See Docket

No. 16. In that order, the court cautioned: "A failure by Lona to file her appellate brief by February

6 will result in the court issuing an order to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for

want of prosecution." Id. at 2 (emphasis in original).

Lona did not file a brief by February 6. On February 10, she filed a "withdrawal of appeal"

"due to the burdens of representing oneself and the learning curve involved in doing so." The court

interprets this document as a motion to voluntarily dismiss the appeal. See Bankr. Rule 8001(c)(2). 

As the appellee has already filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of prosecution, the court

grants Lona's motion to dismiss the appeal. The clerk shall close the file.
