Maurice Gilbert v. Rod Danielson
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Maurice Allen Gilbert appeals pro se from the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing his chapter 13 bankruptcy petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 158(d), 1291. We review de novo the district court’s decision on appeal from the bankruptcy court and apply the same standard of review applied by the district court. In re AFI Holding, Inc., 525 F.3d 700, 702 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.
The bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Gilbert’s chapter 13 petition because Gilbert failed to com-menee making payments under his chapter 13' plan. See 11 U.S.C. § 1326(a)(1) (“[D]ebtor shall commence making payments not later than 30 days after the date of the filing of the plan.... ”); id. § 1307(c)(4) (a bankruptcy court may dismiss a case for “failure to commence making timely payments under section 1326.”); see also Leavitt v. Soto (In re Leavitt), 171 F.3d 1219, 1222-23 (9th Cir. 1999) (stating standard of review).
Contrary to Gilbert’s contention, the bankruptcy court properly exercised jurisdiction over proceedings related to Gilbert’s chapter 13 petition prior to this court issuing its mandate in appeal No. 15-55260. See Sherman v. SEC (In re Sherman), 491 F.3d 948, 967 (9th Cir. 2007) (a notice of appeal typically divests a bankruptcy court of jurisdiction over aspects of the case involved in the appeal but the bankruptcy court retains jurisdiction to implement or enforce the order and may exercise jurisdiction over related proceedings).
We reject as without merit Wade’s contentions that the bankruptcy court violated due process.
Gilbert’s motion to take judicial notice, filed June 28, 2016, is denied as moot.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
