Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 8 F.3d 34 (9th Cir. 1993) Submitted Sept. 20, 1993. *Decided Oct. 18, 1993

Before: FLETCHER, POOLE, and O'SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Judgment creditor Julian Ayrs appeals pro se the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's ("BAP") order dismissing his appeal of the bankruptcy court's order quashing a subpoena Ayrs served on California Superior Court Judge David Horowitz. The BAP dismissed the appeal on the ground that the bankruptcy court's order was a nonappealable interlocutory order. We lack jurisdiction over Ayrs's appeal.

"Interlocutory orders [of the bankruptcy court] are not appealable as of right" and are "not appealable to the court of appeals under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d)." Pizza of Hawaii, Inc. v. Shakey's Inc. (In re Pizza of Hawaii, Inc.), 761 F.2d 1374, 1378 (9th Cir. 1985). Here, the bankruptcy court's order granting the motion to quash the subpoena Ayrs served on Judge Horowitz is interlocutory. See United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 690-69 (1974). Thus, it is not appealable to this court. See In re Pizza of Hawaii, Inc., 761 F.2d at 1378. Accordingly, we dismiss Ayrs's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4. Accordingly, we deny appellant's request for oral argument
