Bankruptcy Case No.

ORDER CLOSING CASE

Before the Court is the March 30, 2006, Order of the

Bankruptcy Court dismissing the appeal in this case pursuant to

the authority of Williams v. EMC Mortgage Corp. (In re Williams),

216 F.3d 1295, 1298 (11th Cir. 2000). 

The Bankruptcy Judge has correctly analyzed the law that

provides that under Federal R. Bank. P. 8002 there is no

provision for the reopening of time to file an appeal when a

party does not receive notice of an entry of judgment or order. 

Further, Fed. R. Bank. P. 9022(a) provides that: “Lack of notice

of the entry [of a judgment or order] does not effect the time to

appeal or relieve or authorize the Court to relieve a party for

failure to appeal within the time allowed except as permitted in

Rule 8002.” In re Williams, at p. 1298, fn.4; citing, In re

Longardner & Assocs., Inc., 855 F.2d 455, 464 (7th Cir. 1988). 

As recognized by the United States Supreme Court and the Ninth

Circuit “[T]he provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 8002 are

jurisdictional; the untimely filing of a notice of appeal

deprives the Appellate Court of jurisdiction to review the

Bankruptcy Court’s order.” Saunders v. Band Plus Mortgage Corp.

(In re Saunders), 31 F.3d 767, 767. 

As this case has properly been ordered dismissed by the

March 30, 2006, order of United States Bankruptcy Judge Brett

Dorian, the Clerk of Court is ORDERED to close District Court

Case No. 1:05-cv-1390 OWW. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
