UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Debtors.
Bankr. Case No. 6:10-bk-22841-KSJ

CHARLES EDWARD WOIDE; and

Case No. 6:16-cv-1484-Orl-37

FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE
ASSOCIATION,
Appellee.

ORDER
In the instant appeal, the Court affirmed the bankruptcy court’s order and
dismissed the case. (Doc. 24 (“Dismissal Order”).) Thereafter, Appellants moved for
reconsideration of the Dismissal Order (Doc. 25), which the Court denied (Doc. 26
(“Denial Order”)). On February 17, 2017, Appellants filed a notice of appeal with the
U.S. Court Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit seeking to challenge the Denial Order
(“Appeal”). (Doc. 27.) Effective April 3, 2017, and pursuant to Eleventh Circuit Rule
42-2(c), the Eleventh Circuit dismissed the Appeal for want of prosecution because
-1-

Appellants failed to timely file a brief. (See Doc. 29.) Appellants now move this Court to
reinstate the Appeal. (Doc. 30 (“Motion”).)
Of course, this Court does not have jurisdiction to direct the Eleventh Circuit to
reinstate an appeal. Both the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Eleventh
Circuit’s Rules contemplate that the Motion should have been filed with the Clerk for the
Eleventh Circuit. See Fed. R. App. P. 25(a)(1); see also 11th Cir. R. 42-2(e). Hence the Motion
is due to be denied.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Appellants’ Emergency
Motion to Reinstate Appeal (Doc. 30) is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on May 2, 2017.
