Case No. 2:04-CV-00805 PGC.
November 1, 2004
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
In adversary proceeding number 03-2082, the Bankruptcy Court granted Los Angeles Homeowners Aid's motion to compel discovery responses from appellant, Ms. Lundahl. The Bankruptcy Court also awarded Los Angeles Homeowners Aid attorney's fees and costs incurred in bringing the motion to compel. Ms. Lundahl appeals from these rulings. But because the court finds that the Bankruptcy Court's discovery and interim fee award orders were not final for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 158(a), the court holds that it lacks appellate jurisdiction to review these actions. This appeal is accordingly dismissed and the Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case.
