- Ruling:
- (Not for Publication) The Ninth Circuit held the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel ("BAP") decision was not sufficiently final, therefore, the Ninth Circuit dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In order for the 9th Circuit to have jurisdiction, the issue on appeal must be a final decision, judgment, order, or decree entered by the BAP. In order to retain jurisdiction, the 9th Circuit determined the following four factors were not satisfied: 1), need to avoid piecemeal litigation; 2) judicial efficiency; 3) the systematic interest in preserving the bankruptcy court's role as the finder of fact; and 4) whether delaying review would cause either party irreparable harm. The 9th Circuit denied the appeal because the facts of the case failed all four factors.
