Griffin Doc. 6 Case 2:06-cv-02055-RTD Document 6 Filed 05/17/2006 Page 1 of 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS FORT SMITH DIVISION IN RE: STEPHEN A. GRIFFIN, DEBTOR BARBARA L. GRIFFIN v. RICHARD L. COX, TRUSTEE ORDER Currently before the Court is Appellant's Emergency Request for Reconsideration of Order Denying Emergency Motion to Stay Proceedings as Moot (Doc. 5, Attachment 55). Appellant moves this No. 2:06-CV-2055 APPELLEE CASE NO. 2:02-bk-70245M CHAPTER 7 APPELLANT Court to reconsider its order of April 14, 2006 denying her motion to stay proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Arkansas, Fort Smith Division in Case No. 2:06-MC-15. Appellant contends the Court erred in denying the motion as moot when her appeal in No. 2:06-CV-2015 was dismissed, because she intended that the motion to stay be considered in conjunction with her appeal in this case. Therefore, the Court will construe Appellant's Emergency Request as a motion to stay the bankruptcy proceedings pending the outcome of this appeal. Rule 8005 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure provides, in pertinent part, that a motion for stay must be "made in the first instance in the bankruptcy court" , and a motion for stay made in the district court "shall show why the relief...was not obtained from the bankruptcy court." Appellant does not allege that she has sought a stay in the bankruptcy court as it relates to AO72A (Rev. 8/82) Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:06-cv-02055-RTD Document 6 Filed 05/17/2006 Page 2 of 2 her current appeal of the Orders entered by Judge Mixon on March 6, 2006, granting Trustee's Amended Motion for Turnover of Property and denying Mrs. Griffin's Response to Amended Motion for Turnover and Homestead Advisement of Third-Party Intervention and Motion to Strike Trustee's Amended Motion for Turnover for Failure to Comply with Rule 7001. Therefore, she failed to make the necessary See In re Duncan, 107 B.R. showing for this Court to enter a stay. 758 (W.D. Okla. 1988). Appellant is advised that she should comply with Rule 8005 by presenting her motion to stay in the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, of Order Appellant's Denying Emergency Emergency Request to for Stay Reconsideration Motion Proceedings as Moot (Doc. 5, Attachment 55) is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED this 17th day of May 2006. /s/ Robert T. Dawson Honorable Robert T. Dawson United States District Judge AO72A (Rev. 8/82)
