Answer in Opposition to Motion for Leave to Appeal
How to file: Location of event: This document must be filed in District Court, not Bankruptcy Court. |

General Information
Full information on the Appeals process
Official Procedure Last Change April 5, 2016
FRBP 8001 |
An appeal is a request by a party to have a higher court consider an order already entered by the bankruptcy court.
There are two main types of appeal: Appeal by Right and Appeal by Leave (interlocutory).
Appeals can also be heard by the US Court of Appeals. A request for a matter to be sent directly to that court instead of to the District Court is called a Direct Appeal.
If a transcript of a hearing is to be requested in relation to the appeal, this should be done as early as possible since an outside agency, not the Clerk's office, prepares all transcripts.
See also related procedure: Motion for Stay Pending Appeal.
An Appeal by Right is an appeal of a final order or judgment and is initiated by the filing of a Notice of Appeal. This Notice must be filed within 14 days of the entry of the order being appealed. If more time is needed to file the Notice of Appeal, a Motion to Extend Time to Appeal Under Rule 8002(d) should be filed.
The appellant has 14 days after the filing of their Notice of Appeal to file an Appellant Designation. This is a list of all documents, including transcripts of hearings, that the appellant wishes to be sent to District Court as part of the appeal.
The appellee has 14 days from the date of filing of the Appellant Designation to file the Appellee Designation. This is a list of any items that the appellee wishes to be sent to District Court in addition to the documents already listed on the Appellant Designation.
If more time is needed to file a designation, a Motion to Extend Time to File Designation should be filed with the Bankruptcy Court.
An Appeal by Leave is an appeal of an interlocutory (non-final) order or judgment and is initiated by the filing of a Notice of Appeal along with a Motion for Leave to Appeal. These documents must be filed within 14 days of the entry of the order being appealed. If more time is needed to file these documents, a Motion to Extend Time to Appeal Under Rule 8002(d) should be filed.
The appellee has 14 days from the filing of these documents to file an Answer in Opposition to Motion for Leave to Appeal. The deadline is calculated from the date the Motion was served on parties, not the date it was filed with the court.
District Court advises the Bankruptcy Court when a District Court case number and judge have been assigned. This information will be docketed on the bankruptcy case.
When the District Court judge has made their decision on whether or not the appeal will be allowed, the order granting or denying is docketed on the bankruptcy case.
If the order grants leave to appeal, the appellant has 14 days from the docketing of the order in the bankruptcy case to file an Appellant Designation. This is a list of all documents, including transcripts of hearings, that the appellant wishes to be sent to District Court as part of the appeal.
The appellee has 14 days from the date of filing of the Appellant Designation to file the Appellee Designation. This is a list of any items that the appellee wishes to be sent to District Court in addition to the documents already listed on the Appellant Designation.
A Direct Appeal is a request to have an appeal heard by the Court of Appeals, bypassing the normal hearing by District Court.
A Direct Appeal is initiated by the filing of a Notice of Appeal and either a Request for Certification for Direct Appeal to Court of Appeals, which automatically sets up a 14 day response time to allow opposing party the opportunity to respond, or a Joint Certificate for Direct Appeal to Court of Appeals, which requires no response time since both parties will have signed off on the Certificate. The Notice of Appeal must be filed within 14 days of the entry of the order being appealed. If more time is needed to file the Notice of Appeal, a Motion to Extend Time to Appeal Under Rule 8002(d) should be filed.
The appellant has 14 days after the filing of their Notice of Appeal to file an Appellant Designation. This is a list of all documents, including transcripts of hearings, that the appellant wishes to be sent to the Court of Appeals as part of the appeal.
The appellee has 14 days from the date of filing of the Appellant Designation to file the Appellee Designation. This is a list of any items that the appellee wishes to be sent to the Court of Appeals in addition to the documents already listed on the Appellant Designation.
The Bankruptcy Court may rule on the certification within the first 30 days, thereafter, the ruling shall come from District Court under rule 8006(b).
If approved to go directly to the Court of Appeals, the Court will enter a Certification for Direct Appeal to Court of Appeals and transmit the initial documents to the Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals then notifies the Bankruptcy Court of the case number to which the appeal was assigned in their court. This case number is docketed on the bankruptcy docket.
The Court of Appeals will then determine whether or not it will hear the appeal. If the request to have the appeal heard by the Court of Appeals is granted, a docket-only order (no PDF) will be entered on the bankruptcy case. This order sets deadlines for briefs to be filed. The Direct Appeal fee (which is in addition to the previous Appeal Filing and Docketing fee) is due within 14 days of the entry of that order.
After expiration of the time allowed for filing briefs, the Bankruptcy Court will transmit the remainder of the appeal documents to the Court of Appeals, regardless of whether or not briefs were filed.
