Wynn v. Reiber
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
This is appellant’s second appeal to this Court challenging denials by the Bank
Although the Bankruptcy Court granted him relief, appellant filed a notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s order in the District Court on January 23, 2001, seeking the refund of additional filing fees he had incurred and paid in the course of his bankruptcy proceedings. The District Court dismissed his appeal as untimely pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8002(a). That rule requires that notices of appeal in bankruptcy cases be filed within ten days of the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of judgment. See Fed. R. Bankr.P. 8002(a). Because appellant’s notice of appeal was filed on January 23, 2001-thirteen days after the Bankruptcy Court’s January 10, 2001 order-the District Court dismissed it as untimely. See Wynn v. Reiber, No. 01-CV-6132L, slip op. at 2 (W.D.N.Y. Aug. 23, 2002).
We have considered all of appellant’s arguments on appeal, and we find that they are not persuasive. Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court dismissing this appeal as untimely is AFFIRMED.
