In Re the Woodson Company, Debtor.michael E. Woodson, Appellant, v. William B. Grover; John W. Zellerbach; the Woodson Co."opt-out" Investors, Appellees, 995 F.2d 235 (9th Cir. 1993)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Michael E. Woodson appeals pro se the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's (BAP's) order denying his motion for leave to appeal an interlocutory order of the bankruptcy court. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction of an appeal from a bankruptcy court order is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 158. Allen v. Old Nat'l Bank (In re Allen), 896 F.2d 416, 418 (9th Cir. 1990) (per curiam). Under section 158(b), the BAP has discretion to grant leave to appeal from interlocutory orders. Id. We, however, have no jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the judgment of the BAP if the order of the bankruptcy court is interlocutory. See 28 U.S.C. § 158(d); Ryther v. Lumber Products, Inc. (In re Ryther), 799 F.2d 1412, 1414 (9th Cir. 1986).

Here, the BAP denied leave to appeal from an interlocutory bankruptcy court order. We therefore lack jurisdiction over this appeal. See id.

DISMISSED.
