PC Puerto Rico, LLC v. Empresas Martinez Valentin Corp., No. 18-2103 (1st Cir. 2020)
Annotate this Case
In this appeal of a bankruptcy court's decision on the merits of all the claims before it the First Circuit dismissed in part Appellant's appeal from the district court's decision affirming the bankruptcy court rulings and awards on the merits, holding that Appellant's appeal of the damages award was untimely and that the amount of attorneys' fees awarded by the bankruptcy court was appropriate.
After the bankruptcy court issued its decision, Appellant waited 237 days - after the bankruptcy court decided a motion for attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party - to file a notice of appeal. The district court affirmed the bankruptcy court rulings and awards on the merits. The First Circuit dismissed in part Appellant's appeal and affirmed in part the district court's decision, holding (1) Appellant's notice of appeal from the bankruptcy court's order of damages was untimely and therefore must be dismissed; and (2) the bankruptcy court's determination as to attorneys' fees was not an abuse of discretion.
