C17-0970-JCC 17 Appellants, v. 18 19 JAMES ALLEN ANGELO, 20 MINUTE ORDER CONSOLIDATING CASES Appellee. 21 22 23 24 The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C. Coughenour, United States District Judge: 25 This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. Both of the above-captioned bankruptcy 26 appeals arise out of the bankruptcy court proceedings culminating in an order dismissing Debtor C17-1056-JCC PAGE - 1 1 James Allen Angelo’s Chapter 13 petition on June 1, 2017. (See Case No. 16-bk-16391-CMA, 2 Dkt. No. 80.) Mr. Angelo filed a notice of appeal with the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel on June 3 12, 2017. (C17-1056-JCC, Dkt. No. 1.) Creditors Touch Worldwide Holdings, Ltd. and Touch 4 Worldwide LLC (Touch) filed a cross-appeal and requested it be heard in the district court on 5 June 26, 2017. (C17-0970-JCC, Dkt. No. 1.) The appeal was originally assigned to Judge Lasnik. 6 (Id.) Touch also objected to Mr. Angelo’s appeal being heard by the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel 7 and it was transferred to the district court and Judge Coughenour. Because the appeals were 8 related, the case assigned to Judge Lasnik was reassigned to Judge Coughenour. (Id., Dkt. No. 2.) 9 Although Mr. Angelo’s appeal has the higher case number at the district court, his appeal 10 progressed further while it was with the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. The bankruptcy record on 11 appeal has been filed and a briefing schedule set. (C17-1056-JCC, Dkt. No. 5.) Because the 12 appeals are of the same order, the Court ORDERS the two cases, C17-0970-JCC and C17-1056- 13 JCC be CONSOLIDATED. Cause number C17-0970-JCC shall be CLOSED and the documents 14 already filed and all future documents filed regarding this matter shall be filed under cause 15 number C17-1056-JCC.
