Pepi Schafler, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Pepi Schafler has filed a petition for a direct appeal

to this court from an order of the Bankruptcy Court for the

District of Maryland.     A party may only obtain a direct appeal

of a bankruptcy court order, however, if the bankruptcy court,

the district court, or the bankruptcy panel has certified that

the order sought to be appealed involves a question of law for

which there is no controlling precedent or involves a matter of

public   importance;    the    order       involves   a   question      of   law

requiring resolution of conflicting decisions; or an immediate

appeal   would   materially   advance       the   proceedings.     28    U.S.C.

§ 158(d)(2)(A) (2012).        Here, no court has certified that the

order sought to be appealed meets these criteria.                Accordingly,

we deny Schafler’s petition and deny her motion to stay the

bankruptcy proceedings pending appeal.

                                                            PETITION DENIED
