IN RE: Wilma M. PENNINGTON-THURMAN (2021)

[Unpublished]

Wilma Pennington-Thurman appeals the district court's ¹ order affirming the bankruptcy court's order denying her motion to reopen her bankruptcy case. We conclude that the bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion. The adversary case that Pennington-Thurman sought to pursue addressed previously litigated issues or otherwise lacked merit, so reopening would have been futile. See Apex Oil Co. v. Sparks (In re Apex Oil Co.), 406 F.3d 538, 541 (8th Cir. 2005); Mid-City Bank v. Skyline Woods Homeowners Ass'n (In re Skyline Woods Country Club, LLC), 431 B.R. 830, 837-38 (B.A.P. 8th Cir. 2010); Realan Inv. Partners, LLLP v. Meininger (In re Land Res., LLC), 505 B.R. 571, 582 (M.D. Fla. 2014).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
