In re: MICHAEL J. GARVIN, Appellant, v. METROBANK, etc., Appellee.
MEMORANDUM ORDER
On August 20, 2013 this Court conducted its initial status hearing in this bankruptcy appeal and set the schedule for the parties' respective submissions: September 10, 2013 for appellant's memorandum in support of his appeal, October 1 for the appellee's response and October 8 for the ensuing status hearing (a procedure that this Court normally follows rather than establishing an automatic one-two-three briefing schedule, experience having taught that reply submissions are very often unnecessary). Now September 10 has come and gone with nothing but total silence having intervened--neither appellant's required submission nor a request for further time to file that submission nor any other communication of any sort. Such disobedience of a specific court order is hardly excusable, and consequently the appeal and this action are dismissed.
