Having read and considered the papers filed in support of the request, the Court deems the matter suitable for decision thereon, see Civ. L.R. 7-1(b), hereby VACATES the hearing scheduled for November 21, 2008, and rules as follows. A district court may certify for appeal to the court of appeals a judgment, order, or decree of a bankruptcy judge (1) that "involves a question of law as to which there is no controlling decision of the court of appeals for the circuit or of the Supreme Court of the United States, or involves a matter of public importance;" (2) that "involves a question of law requiring resolution of conflicting decisions;" or (3) where "an immediate appeal from the judgment, order, or decree may materially advance the progress of the case or v. ROYCE MAKISHIMA, et al., Apellees. / GRACE MILES, Appellant, No. C-08-4091 MMC ORDER DENYING APPELLANT'S CORRECTED REQUEST FOR DIRECT APPEAL CERTIFICATION United States District Court IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 proceeding in which the appeal is taken." See 28 U.S.C. § 158(d)(2)(A). Here, Miles relies primarily on the first of the above-referenced three grounds.1 (See Pl.'s Request at 4.) Miles has failed to make an adequate showing, however, that the above-referenced order of the Bankruptcy Court "involves a question of law as to which there is no controlling decision . . . or involves a matter of public importance." See § 158(d)(2)(A)(i). Accordingly, the Corrected Request is hereby DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: October 22, 2008 MAXINE M. CHESNEY United States District Judge Although Miles cites to all three subsections of § 158(d)(2)(A), she provides argument only as to the first. 2 1
