TRANSCRIPT
How long do I have to take an appeal from a bankruptcy court decision?
If you or your client needs to take an appeal from a bankruptcy court's judgment or order, you have 14 days. Rule 8002 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure governs the time to appeal. Certain things can extend the time to appeal, such as a motion to reconsider the judgment or order, but keep in mind that such a motion must be filed within the first 14-day window, and then you have 14 days after the motion is resolved to file a notice of appeal. This deadline is extremely important, because if it is missed, the appeal will almost certainly be dismissed.
I am Reno Fernandez, and I specialize in bankruptcy-related appeals throughout the country, all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you.
