Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
Before WRIGHT, HUG and HALL, Circuit Judges.
Teleport Oil Company (Teleport), the debtor in bankruptcy, appealed to the district court from the bankruptcy court's order appointing a trustee. Teleport also requested the district court to stay the bankruptcy court order pending appeal. The district court denied Teleport's request for stay, and Teleport appealed the denial of a stay to this court. The appeal from the order appointing a trustee remains pending in the district court. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction Teleport's appeal from the district court's denial of a stay.
Under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 158(d) (Sec. 158) (formerly 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1293(b)), 1 this court has jurisdiction over "appeals from all final decisions, judgments, orders and decrees" of the district courts in bankruptcy matters. Previous decisions of this court have held that Sec. 1293 replaces the traditional analysis of finality for purposes of appeal conducted under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (Sec. 1291) with a more flexible approach to finality for bankruptcy appeals.
[B]ankruptcy proceedings are unique ... the rules of finality developed for conventional litigation should not be applied mechanically. Those orders that " 'may determine and seriously affect substantive rights' and 'cause irreparable harm to the losing party if he had to wait to the end of the bankruptcy case' " are immediately appealable.
In re White, 727 F.2d 884, 885 (9th Cir.1984) (quoting In re Mason, 709 F.2d 1313, 1316-17 (9th Cir.1983)). See also In re King City Transit Mix, Inc., 738 F.2d 1065, 1066 (9th Cir.1984). Under this approach, the district court's refusal to stay the appointment of a trustee is not appealable to this court as a final order under Sec. 158. The district court's decision...
