Carlson v. U.S. Bank, N.A., No. 14-6013 (8th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDebtors filed a pro se Chapter 13 bankruptcy in order to stop a pending foreclosure of their residential unit. On appeal, debtors challenged the bankruptcy court's order denying their motion for violation of an automatic stay, violation of a homestead exemption, violation of discharge, and creditor misconduct. Debtors also challenged the order dismissing their case and imposing a 180-day refiling. The panel concluded that debtors failed to provide the panel with transcripts of the relevant hearings pursuant to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 8006 and 8009(b). Even if the panel were able to ascertain from debtors' briefs on appeal what factual errors, if any, they assert the bankruptcy court committed, the panel was unable to review the bankruptcy court's orders where debtors failed to provide an adequate record of the bankruptcy court's decision. To the extent the panel can consider debtors' legal arguments without having been provided with their factual basis, none of those legal arguments have merit. Accordingly, panel affirmed the orders.
