IN RE: William Robert NORRIE (2019)

MEMORANDUM **

Chapter 7 debtor William Robert Norrie appeals pro se from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s (“BAP”) judgment affirming the bankruptcy court’s December 18, 2015 order denying Norrie’s motion for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), and the BAP’s order denying rehearing. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We review de novo BAP decisions and apply the same standard of review that the BAP applied to the bankruptcy court’s ruling. Boyajian v. New Falls Corp. (In re Boyajian), 564 F.3d 1088, 1090 (9th Cir. 2009). We review for an abuse of discretion the bankruptcy court’s decision regarding reconsideration. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.

The bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in denying Norrie’s December 16, 2015 motion because Norrie failed to demonstrate any basis for relief. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9024 (making Rule 60 applicable to bankruptcy cases); Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d at 1262-63 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for relief under Rule 60(b)).

The BAP did not abuse its discretion in denying Norrie’s November 8, 2016 motion for reconsideration because Norrie failed to demonstrate any basis for relief. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8022(a)(2) (motion must state with particularity each point of law or fact that the movant believes the BAP has overlooked or misapprehended).

We reject as unsupported by the record Norrie’s contention that the bankruptcy court failed to state its reason for denying Norrie’s Rule 60 motion.

Norrie’s motion to file a late reply brief (Docket Entry No. 36) is granted. The Clerk shall file the reply brief submitted at Docket Entry No. 37.

All other pending motions and requests, including appellees’ request for judicial notice contained within Docket Entry No. 6, are denied.

AFFIRMED.
