Appellee.

Jacqueline C. Melcher commenced the above appeal by filing a notice of appeal on January

20

12, 2012. The record on appeal has not been transmitted by the Bankruptcy Court to the District

21

Court, apparently because Ms. Melcher has not provided the clerk with an adequate designation of

22

the record. See Declaration of Charles P. Maher Regarding Status of Appeal, Dkt. No. 8. Ms.

23

Melcher has also failed to file an opening brief. As this is Ms. Melcher's thirteenth appeal of an

24

order of the Bankruptcy Court in the underlying proceeding, she should be well-acquainted with the

25

required procedure for filing an appeal by this time. Ms. Melcher is therefore ordered to file a brief

26

within ten days of the date of this order explaining why the case should not be dismissed for lack of

27

prosecution. Absent a showing of good cause, the appeal will be dismissed.
