In re ABDUL ALIM POPAL and

Debtors

On March 16, 2016, the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court notified this court that the

15

record on appeal was incomplete in that it did not include a designation of record, statement of

16

issues, reporter’s transcript or notice regarding the transcript. ECF No. 3.

17

An appellant’s failure to take the necessary steps to prosecute the appeal may be

18

grounds for sanctions, up to and including dismissal of the appeal. Greco v. Stubenberg, 859 F.2d

19

1401, 1404 (9th Cir. 1988). As appellants have taken no steps to complete the record necessary

20

to the appeal, and appellants are directed to show cause in writing on or before April 29, 2016,

21

why the appeal should not be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: April 4, 2016
