In Re: Wilmer J. Deckard, Debtor,george W. Deckard, Appellant, v. Wilmer J. Deckard; David L. Ray, Trustee, Appellee, 141 F.3d 1175 (9th Cir. 1998)

MEMORANDUM^* 

George Deckard appeals pro se the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's dismissal, as untimely, of his appeal from the bankruptcy court's order denying him relief from the stay in the bankruptcy of Chapter 7 debtor Wilmer Deckard. Fed. R. Bank. P. 8002 requires that a notice of appeal be filed with the BAP within 10 days of the bankruptcy court's entry of judgment. Deckard filed his notice of appeal 16 days after the bankruptcy court order. Deckard argues that there were procedural due process violations in the bankruptcy court, but admits that he received notice of the bankruptcy court decision on the date that the decision was filed. Because the "provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 8002 are jurisdictional, the untimely filing of a notice of appeal deprives the appellate court of jurisdiction to review the bankruptcy court's order." Saunders v Band Plus Mortgage Corp. (In re Saunders), 31 F.3d 767 (9th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the BAP's dismissal is

AFFIRMED.
