Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Russell W. Savory, BEARD & SAVORY, PLLC, Memphis, Tennessee, for Appellee.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: LaTasha Tennial, Memphis, Tennessee, pro se.

Judge(s): SUTTON, COOK, and WHITE, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Tennessee at Memphis

SUTTON, Circuit Judge. LaTasha Tennial appealed a ruling in her bankruptcy case after the deadline for doing so had passed. The district court dismissed the appeal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The deadline does not create a limitation on our subject matter jurisdiction. But we agree that Tennial missed the deadline and that the deadline is mandatory. We therefore affirm the dismissal on this independent ground.
