IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUSAN GILNER,

Appellant,

 v.

LINDA LICALSI, et al.,

Appellees /

No. C-07-0960 MMC

ORDER DIRECTING APPELLANT TO

SHOW CAUSE WHY APPEAL SHOULD

NOT BE DISMISSED; VACATING

STATUS CONFERENCE

By order filed May 21, 2007, the Court continued the status conference in the abovetitled bankruptcy appeal to June 15, 2007, and ordered appellant to file, no later than June

8, 2007, a statement detailing all efforts she has taken to designate the record on appeal.

On June 8, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation, requesting that the status conference

be continued in light of appellant’s having to attend a June 15, 2007 preliminary hearing in

a criminal case in which she is a defendant. On June 8, 2007, the parties also filed a Joint

Case Management Statement, in which appellant failed to identify any effort she has taken

to designate the record.1

The sole purpose of conducting a status conference in this case is to determine why

the record is not before this Court. (See Notice of Filing of Bankruptcy Appeal and Order

Setting Status Conference, filed February 15, 2007) (providing status conference “will stand

vacated upon the filing in this Court of the record on appeal, at which time a briefing

schedule will issue”). Given that the record is still not before this Court, and appellant’s

failure to file, in violation of this Court’s order of May 21, 2007, a status statement detailing

the efforts she has taken to designate the record, the Court hereby ORDERS APPELLANT

TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing no later than June 29, 2007, why her appeal should not be

dismissed for failure to prosecute. See, e.g., Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8006 (providing appellant

must designate record ten court days after filing notice of appeal). If appellant fails to file a

timely response, the instant appeal will be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

Further, in light of appellant’s conflict on June 15, 2007, the status conference

scheduled for June 15, 2007 is hereby VACATED. The conference will be rescheduled, if

necessary, in the event appellant has shown good cause exists not to dismiss the appeal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
