NORA v. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Wendy Alison NORA Appellant v. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE Appellee

No. 18-3095

Decided: October 29, 2019

Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. Wendy Alison Nora, Pro Se Michael Pahl, U.S. Department of Justice, Tax Division, Civil Trial Section, Central Region, Washington, DC, Richard L. Parker, Deborah K. Snyder, U.S. Department of Justice, Tax Division, Appellate Section, Washington, DC, for Appellee

[Unpublished]

Wendy Nora appeals the district court’s 1 denial of her third motion for an extension of time, and dismissal of her bankruptcy appeal for failure to comply with a court-ordered deadline. Following a careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the extension and dismissing the appeal. See Smith v. Gold Dust Casino, 526 F.3d 402, 404 (8th Cir. 2008) (dismissal for failure to prosecute or failure to comply with court order is reviewed for abuse of discretion); In re Harlow Fay, Inc., 993 F.2d 1351, 1352-53 (8th Cir. 1993) (district court’s denial of request for extension of filing deadline in a bankruptcy appeal is reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Nora’s appellate motion as moot.
