In Re: Zhanjun Luo, A/k/a/ Stephen Law, A/k/a Zhan J. Luo,a/k/a Stephen Luo, Debtor,shong-ching Tong, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Zhanjun Luo, A/k/a Stephen Law, A/k/a Zhan J. Luo, A/k/astephen Luo, Defendant-appellee, 116 F.3d 1486 (9th Cir. 1997)

Shong-Ching Tong appeals pro se the district court's dismissal for failure to prosecute of his appeal from the bankruptcy court's decision in his adversary proceeding. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, see Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1424 (9th Cir. 1986), and we affirm.

Here, the district court sua sponte dismissed Tong's appeal pursuant to a local bankruptcy court rule because Tong waited forty-nine days to designate the record on appeal, to file a statement of issues, and to file a notice of transcripts. See Fed. R. Bankr.P. 8006 (providing that the appellant must file a designation of the items to be included in the record on appeal and a statement of the issues to be presented within 10 days after filing the notice of appeal); C.D. Cal. Bankr.Ct. R. 157(2) (providing that " [w]hen an appellant fails ... to comply with rules requiring processing the appeal to hearing, the District Court clerk, after notice, shall enter an order dismissing the appeal). After reviewing the record in this case, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. See Henderson, 779 F.2d at 1423.

AFFIRMED.¹
